How I became indispensable by mentoring new associates and implementing new technologies

Abstract

The veterinary profession is becoming specialized and sectioned, leaving the concept of mixed animal practice in question. At the same time, technology and even medications are becoming more available to our clients. Rural mixed animal practice is at a precipice. We are facing a perception of decreased value of a veterinary relationship with clients and a stereotype amongst veterinary students that rural mixed practice is dying. In this presentation I will discuss how my practices have designed a strategy to overcome these obstacles.
