Each month there will be at least one opportunity for you to connect with colleagues and fellow VECCS members to connect, brainstorm and share! Each ‘Mingle‘ will have a unique theme or topic and a moderator who has in-depth, applicable experience to get the meet-ups going; but ultimately our members will have the floor!
These are casual meet-up opportunities to give our members a safe space to talk freely and respectfully to each other about all things veterinary. Grab a cocktail, dinner, coffee, whatever floats your boat and feel free to hop in or out at your convenience.

Topic: Becoming Blame Aware
Description: Challenge the normal approach to M&M Rounds and learning from mistakes to create a more collaborative learning environment that is “blame-aware”. This talk is for those who want to improve their M&M rounds and create a more supportive and collaborative team approach to learning that will help teams grow into the future.
