Abstract

Production medicine is the newest kid on the block and by all indications is the future of veterinary medicine. This challenge has frightened many veterinarians and have made their futures unclear. I have found production medicine to be one of the most rewarding programs I have ever offered to my clients and is now the backbone of a successful practice. I have been asked today to discuss the difficulties that went into making a production medicine program work and I hope to share these with you.

A small farm is nestled among rolling hills, fields stretching across a curving road that disappears between dark green trees. The barn is a cheery red color with a tin roof. Beneath the photo is the a statement of the conference's theme in white italics: Challenges of the Bovine Industry in the Twenty-First Century. Deep red background.
