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: Effective Teams: How to Optimally Utilize Your Doctors, Nurses, and Assistants
Description: This webinar will discuss the benefits and barriers to optimal utilization of veterinary teams from the veterinary technician and veterinarian point of view. We will review the results of two recent utilization studies that identified top barriers and possible disconnect between veterinary technicians and veterinarians before offering concrete strategies for improvement.

What You’ll Learn:
· The importance of leveraging your team’s strengths for a more efficient practice.
