The Veterinary Communication System

Investing in evidence-based communication training is the cornerstone of a successful veterinary practice leading to a perpetual cycle of synergy and enjoyment for all parties involved (veterinary team, clients, pets, hospital profits). Communication training is the catalyst that starts this chain reaction in motion.

How we've helped other Veterinarians

I had been practicing for several years at that point and considered myself a relatively good communicator but often found myself in long, circular conversations that I often walked away from wondering if the client understood my primary concerns. Since learning and implementing the techniques taught in the VCC.Academy curriculum, I have found my client communication to be more direct and efficient, which allows me to conduct a thorough appointment while still staying on time.
