As a new graduate from veterinary school, I had the pleasure of attending the newly introduced business management lectures placed in our curriculum. Not only are these lectures fundamental for our curriculum, they are fundamental for the profession. Although clinical continuing education is incredibly important since medical knowledge improves by leaps and bounds each year, providing some form of business education is equally important if we are to survive the decline in the economy. Many veterinarians enter school knowing they love animals and they want to learn to treat them, but leave school without any business knowledge or capability to run a practice (hence corporate run firms like Banfield and VCA). If we expect to keep clinics in private hands, more CE is needed to help teach veterinarians how to run a successful business, excel in marketing, and continually grow in client numbers. Please add business education and management to the possible CE pool to allow us to become more well rounded practitioners and business owners.
