dvm360.com: 5 Ways to Work Smarter, Not Harder

Throughout my veterinary career, I have worked in many different practices and with a variety of veterinarians, team members, and leaders.

Accept a student extern, hire associate DVMs that want to give back to future generations so you can hire a new graduate who will want to continue the gift of teaching. Explain to your techs and assistants why you are running the tests you chose and incorporate them into the learning process. Having an environment where everyone is a teacher creates a more positive culture, resulting in less turnover.
