Is equine practice the most flexible option for a sustainable veterinary career?

If you’ve ever dreamed of owning or running an equine practice, or want a more sustainable career, this panel is for you!

Join entrepreneurs and equine vets who make equine practice work for them, and have built lives they love.  Sure, it’s not all sunshine and horse shows (or is it?) but these fab people have found ways to design their life and work.

Tired of cranky clients who have a hair trigger on that 1 star review?

Want to work in a community that is accepting, welcoming, and cheers on the clinic when they reduce their on call hours?

We’re not joking, this place does exist, and it’s not in a Hallmark movie! Join Dr. Dana Ness at our Interview the Boss to learn about a clinic in the Pacific Northwest with a culture and community worth moving for.

Fair Isle Animal Clinic has two fabulous associates who are expecting at the same time, so your opportunity to move to and experience an independently owned practice that could be in a holiday movie is here!

Register below and join us live to learn about the culture that has been built, and the community where this special clinic resides.

Can’t attend live due to holiday commitments?  No worries- sign up and you’ll get the replay to your inbox.

Teaching, Telehealth, working from home and hybrid work, being on a board, working in academia, speaking, and founding an organization… this interview with Dr. Christina Tran will be incredibly rich.

Christina is a powerhouse, and yet incredibly grounded. Join us to gain insights into how to craft your career to fit your curiosity and strengths.

Join us for an engaging and informative CE-credited webinar featuring three renowned speakers in the field of veterinary medicine. Doctors Phil Richmond, Charlotte French, and Melanie Barham will share their expertise on recruitment, retention, career progression and personal development.

Whether you are a student, recent graduate or seasoned professional, you will learn how to equip yourself with the right tools to thrive in any veterinary career you chose to carve out for yourself while also fostering an inclusive and supportive environment for your own teams and colleagues.

Key Learning Objectives:

• Tips on exploring an alternative career path in veterinary
• Owning your professional development and continued learning
• The importance of inclusive recruitment
• Where to find your community and support networks
• Managing stress levels by creating safe psychological spaces
• How to be a good mentor and why you need to send the elevator back down
• Key insights to building a robust and innovative team

Even leaders deal with imposter syndrome – both within themselves and within their teams. Let’s focus on how we can employ techniques as leaders, managers, and team members to reduce the effects of imposter syndrome on themselves and those on their team.

We’ll discuss techniques to coach and empower others when they’re feeling “imposter-y”, and how you can make changes in any system to support your team.
