Building Confidence in Talking About the Cost and Value of Veterinary Care
Supported by research, this session will initiate a conversation that brings new light to our discussions of the cost and value of veterinary care. Through an interactive discussion and small-group breakouts, the session will help participants reframe their approach to discussing the cost of veterinary care in a way that aligns with clients’ perception of value and that overcomes many of the common hurdles to discussing the cost of veterinary care.

The Beyond Medicine Workshop has been approved by RACE to provide eight (8.0) hours of nonmedical, interactive-distance CE for veterinarians
