The College of Veterinarians of Ontario

We’ve all seen the term “Team-Based Veterinary Healthcare” bandied about, but what does it really mean? And where is it going? On Elevating the Veterinary Team, Dr. Steven Roche has the opportunity to pick the brains of Jan Robinson (Registrar & CEO of the CVO), Dr. Jeff Wichtel (Dean of OVC), and John Stevens (CEO of the OVMA), launching our investigation onto the frontlines of veterinary medicine.  🔗 https://lnkd.in/gghRqWCC Ontario Veterinary Medical Association, Ontario Veterinary College, University of Guelph, ACER Consulting Ltd.
