This course explores the income potential inherent in every full-service veterinary practice through diversifying the services provided, thereby avoiding an over dependence or focus on any one specific service, such as vaccination. Intended for all members of the veterinary practice health care team, its focus is on providing strategies to move towards a services-based, and away from a commodity-based, practice philosophy and style. The necessity of this evolution is discussed, specific examples are provided, and suggested methods of accomplishing this paradigm shift are relayed to the audience. You must be a veterinarian to take this course. It is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Usual cost: $30 for CVMA members, $60 for non-members. You may take this course at no cost during December and January.
