Key information
It was once believed that the only skills vets needed to succeed were skills like diagnostic reasoning, applying expert knowledge, examination skills and case management. Of course, these are all vital skills but it’s very clear nowadays that this is only part of the picture. Consultations are a complex interpersonal interaction and without strengthening our communication skills, all the clinical knowledge in the world is simply not enough to really help your patients and lead a successful career. Dr Claire Stevens created Effective Communication and Consultation Skills for Veterinarians to teach you the formula to the perfect consult. This 15 hour program delivered over 5 weeks and teaches a range of practical tools, strategies and models, so you can overcome challenges and start getting more fulfilment from clinical practice.
