Adam Conroy graduated from the University of Illinois (Urbana-Champaign) College of Vet Med in 2005. Upon graduating, Conroy took an associate position with Dan Markwalder, DVM, at the original Animal Care Clinic. After a year, he became a partner of ACC, and together, they have expanded to 5 hospitals in the Chicagoland area. Dr. Conroy’s passions have always centered around surgery and the advancement of his leadership skills.
With multiple hospitals, Conroy has had the opportunity to mentor numerous veterinarians over the years. Whether it be a new graduate or experienced veterinarian, the success throughout the process has been based upon a simple principle: the mentor helps the mentee accomplish his/her personal goals and become the most proficient doctor they can be. Based upon the success of the mentoring culture created within the ACC organization, he again partnered with Markwalder and created MarkRoy Consulting. MarkRoy is committed to educating veterinarians on the importance of proper mentorship and becoming a strong leader. They have traveled to nearly every Veterinary College and are regular speakers for the VBMA.
Recently Conroy became a co-founder of the Seven Summit Society. This program is focused on empowering young veterinarians to become practice owners. He speaks in various cities offering seminars on the process of becoming a practice owner.
