Synopsis

In this cutting-edge text, Thomas Catanzaro brings his considerable experience and training to bear on management in the veterinary profession. He discusses changes emerging in the twenty-first century veterinary medical practice and the alterations they demand in management style and practice organization. Besides the techniques and concepts for developing new programs and procedures, Dr. Catanzaro provides real-life applications for immediate use by veterinary practitioners around the world. Veterinary Management in Transition specifically addresses the following areas:

* Are you and your practice ready for change?;

* What is governance?;

* Why is it needed?;

* How does it work?;

* In group practices, how can the leadership role be shared?;

* What issues do you need to consider when hiring a group administrator, and how do you train him or her?;

* How can the transition from traditional, single-doctor forms of management to new, more effective forms be made?

A self-assessment at the end of each chapter helps readers understand their own strengths and weaknesses. Generous appendixes offer stand-alone reviews of the concepts presented in the text as well as model administrative action plans for staff development and change management.

From the Back Cover

Society is growing more complicated, and needed veterinary services are becoming more complex. The new millennium will encourage cooperation among multiple types of veterinary services. Besides effectively managing a single practice, veterinarians must be prepared to work with optimum service to patients and business success for themselves. The skill to administrate single-source veterinary service sources is necessary for every veterinarian who will practice in the 21st century. A new book by popular veterinary consultant and speaker Dr Thomas Catanzaro, DVM, explains how to organize and operate a veterinary practice designed to prosper in this new environment.
