Don’t Make the Same Mistakes I Did

(Practice Ownership Mistakes to Avoid)

***Click Here to Register***

There is a reason they call it a veterinary ‘’practice’.  It is because we are constantly learning from what we do or what we don’t do. In many cases, we learn more from our mistakes than our victories.  Let’s visit some of the more obvious faux pas that occur in a veterinary practice and see what we can learn.

As they say, no pain no gain.  Mistakes in the area of marketing, people, regulatory, and operations among others will be shared.  Let someone else’s pain be your teacher.

Speaker: Dr. Peter Weinstein, DVM, MBA

Bio: Dr. Peter Weinstein is a husband, father, pet parent, veterinarian and leader. He has been involved with virtually all aspects of veterinary practice from a 15 year old kennel kid to a hospital owner. Organized veterinary medicine has been a passion as well with various roles and leadership and presidencies of Southern California VMA, California VMA, and Vet Partners. He is a published author, most notably of the EMyth Veterinarian- Why Most Veterinary Practices Don’t Work and What to Do About It. Currently, he is teaching business and finance at the Veterinary College of Western University of Health Sciences. He likes to think of himself as a free thinking change agent and disruptor who, because his daughter just graduated from veterinary school, is working for an even better veterinary profession in the future.
