Peer Advisory Conversation
GET INVOLVED IN THE PILOT PHASE
The College is proud to announce that the
pilot phase of the Peer Advisory Conversation
is underway! As recent grads or longtime
practitioners, a conversation with a peer is
always valuable.
The Peer Advisory Conversation provides a
positive learning experience for veterinarians.
Through conversation, veterinarians will find
support in their efforts to deliver quality care
and service. The conversation includes tips
for managing risk areas; insight into practice
standards and regulatory requirements;
and suggestions for continuing professional
development (CPD).
It’s a conversation - not an interview or an
investigation. It’s one veterinarian speaking to
another veterinarian - one of whom happens
to be a trained peer advisor. Both of them,
and both of their practices, benefit from the
conversation.
