Veterinary practices thrive when team members feel free to admit mistakes, propose ideas and express opinions. A close-mouthed culture does no one any good.
Veterinary practices should partner with shelter and rescue organizations to ensure that animals are ready for adoption and get the lifelong medical care they deserve. A new Fear Free program can help.
The evolution of veterinary education and successful practice requires open-mindedness and a willingness to change. Universities, employers and students all have key roles to play.
