Mentorship in veterinary practice redefined
Mentorship in the veterinary profession has traditionally meant getting support and guidance from a more experienced colleague within your practice. Historically, the focus has been on developing the medical skills and clinical acumen of early-career professionals. Now, mentorship is evolving to meet the needs of today's veterinary professionals. In this webinar, explore how veterinary mentorship is changing, and discover strategies for creating intentional models that support mental health, recruitment, and retention within your practice. This session is part of a series exploring the nuances of effective mentoring and actionable strategies to foster meaningful experiences for both mentors and mentees.
