Enhance your VECCS member experience by joining in our all new, virtual, Monthly Mingles! 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.
Those who do stick around until the end may win a great prize!

Topic: The Case for Quality Improvement in Vet Med
Moderator: Dr. Meredith Daly
Description: Medical errors occur frequently in veterinary medicine. It’s impossible to know precisely how often because adverse event reporting is uncommon, reporting methodologies aren’t standardized, and patient safety and quality improvement programs are fairly new in veterinary medicine. To prevent medical errors, we have to understand why they occur and invest in systems to prevent them. Most importantly, we must all begin by acknowledging that medical errors are a result of faulty systems, not flawed people. None of us become veterinarians to harm patients, and although these errors may not be our fault—they are our responsibility. To abide by our first principle more fully to “first, do no harm,” we must work together, learn from each other, and galvanize the need for quality improvement programs in veterinary medicine.
