HR Webinars

VBA is proud to present our new Practice Management Webinar Series.  We know how challenging it can be to manage a veterinary practice. Some days it seems virtually impossible to find the time to do anything else, including your continuing education.  We decided it was time to put together a webinar series that could not only satisfy your desire to keep learning, but also give you some practical help with the day to day adventures of managing a busy veterinary practice.  Our webinar series will include everything from the major legal issues, right down to the small daily mishaps that occur in a typical practice.
