Read more below on this highly anticipated interactive leadership session.
The Canadian Veterinary Medical Association holds the 10th edition of the CVMA Emerging Leaders Program (ELP) at the 2019 WSAVA/CVMA joint Congress (https://www.canadianveterinarians.net/science-knowledge/annual-convention) in Toronto, Ontario in July 2019.
Generously sponsored by Virox Animal Health, the Program helps Canadian veterinarians, registered veterinary technicians/technologists and veterinary leaders/managers to identify and develop leadership skills while building a leadership network within the profession.
Program Overview:
Low staff morale, burnout, financial challenges, workplace drama and a host of related challenges can easily make our veterinary careers less joyful.
The Canadian Veterinary Medical Association created the Emerging Leaders Program to help bring joy back into the workplace by teaching graduates and experienced professionals alike how to cope with a variety of challenges encountered in veterinary practice. It gives an opportunity for individuals to explore their approach to personal and professional accomplishment and their working relationship with colleagues.
Highly Interactive!
The Program, sponsored by Virox Animal Health, is a highly interactive eight-hour workshop spread across two half-days.
- Tuesday, July 16 from 2:30pm to 6:00pm
- Wednesday, July 17 from 8:00am to 12:00pm
