How conferences can benefit veterinary professionals

Washington, DC and Arlington, VA

In an interview with dvm360®, Erica Brandt, CVT, VTS (ECC), explains how conferences can allow vet professionals to learn from multiple perspectives

In an interview, Erica Brandt, CVT, VTS (ECC), shares her excitement for our Directions in Veterinary Medicine (DIVM) conference in the DC/Arlington area, taking place April 21-22. She is especially excited for the mock emergency case that all faculty will take part in and explains how it will be like a science experiment. Make sure to register now to attend Brandt's session and all our other emergency and critical care continuing education opportunities.

The following is a partial transcript of the video.

Erica Brandt, CVT, VTS (ECC): I think this is a great time in veterinary medicine where we are really looking at work-life balance, and we're really talking about job satisfaction. I think building better relationships in our careers, building better relationships with the doctors that we work with, building better relationships with the technicians we work with. And so the idea of this conference, bringing professionals together to collaborate and discuss a common case, I think is an awesome step in the right direction.
