Maintaining Regular Client Contact

Regular client communication is a key element in any veterinary practice. Regular client communication (from any member of the animal healthcare team) is arguably as important to the animal's health as a vaccine or medication. This special report offers a variety of tips and pointers.

Helping the Grieving Patient

As our society continues to evolve, the picturesque idea of a typical family is becoming less and less prevalent. Many people find themselves separated from family and friends, by choice or by unforeseen circumstance and often feel a great void when a pet dies. This special report offers examples and suggestions to ease the loss.

Myers-Briggs In The Veterinary Clinic

While animal behavior may be somewhat subjective, behavior assessment for humans is actually measurable. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI) is a behavior assessment tool that has been statistically validated through numerous long-term and broad-range studies. This article helps you understand how personality type is measured through the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, and how that could impact your work in the clinic.

How To Be A Good Boss

As a veterinarian, whether your practice is shared or set up as individual, you play a variety of roles.  In your training, you develop a keen eye in distinguishing the needs of your patients.  In your practice, you display sensitivity to concerned pet owners.  In your continuing education seminars, you share an easy camaraderie with your professional peers.  But how would your employees say you measure up in your role as a boss?

When you graduate from veterinary school, you are brimming with excitement, eager to get into your office and set up your practice for animal care. You are well aware of your need for one or more team members for your practice, and you have done some personal reflection to determine what kind of people you would like to hire. So, do you just hang a "Person Wanted" sign in the window and wait for the applicants? Before you go any further, you must realize the hiring process is highly regulated by federal and state laws.
