18 IN PILOT PHASE 3
VETERINARIANS PARTICIPATED
• The Peer Advisory Conversation pilot is meeting
its evaluation targets, except in the area of
recruitment of conversation participants.
• A top strength of the process, reported by
conversation participants, was the opportunity
to receive safe and constructive feedback.
• Peer Advisors identified the non-judgemental
approach, and the chance for participants
to discuss their practice with a colleague
as strengths of the conversation.
• “[This was] a holistic, proactive, friendly non-punitive
approach to increase quality in veterinary practice
within the veterinary community with their own
and public benefit in mind.” – Participant Quote
• “Most of the vets in my practice have asked me about
the program and are thinking of participating. Happy to
see it was a positive experience.” – Participant Quote
• “All the veterinarians I have spoken to were just happy to
connect with another veterinarian outside their practice
to chat and share and learn — a positive experience
with the CVO for veterinarians.” – Advisor Quote
• The College continues to recruit participants
for the pilot. The input gathered will help
shape the program for the future.
