We’re bringing the AAEVT & AAEP together to explore and discuss effective training protocols that enhance retention, staff utilization, and team communication. These protocols may include commission-based advancement, health benefits, retirement plans, continuing education support, and technician-supported telemedicine. Veterinarians and technicians will share successful solutions and practices that elevate care standards and foster mutual respect. This interactive session invites both audience and panelists to brainstorm innovative ways to support our profession, improve our practices and client service, and nurture our shared passion for horses. Join us to collaborate with Association Leaders and strengthen our teams!
