UC Davis Again Offers Popular Veterinary Business Learning Opportunity

Would you like to learn about running a veterinary practice from a course that is 100% recommended by previous participants? The UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine and UC Davis Graduate School of Management (GSM) will once again offer the Foundations of Veterinary Business certificate program from May to August of 2022.

This popular online program sold out in both of the two previous years it was offered. It combines self-paced online modules on general business principles with three live, interactive Saturday Zoom sessions covering practical, veterinary-specific business concepts. The program is designed for practice owners, prospective owners, practice leaders, and hospital administrators who want to take their understanding of business to the next level.  

The program provides veterinary working professionals with a time- and cost-efficient way to further their understanding of business basics, including managerial accounting, finance, marketing, strategy, and more. Attendees work in small teams on an online Capstone Project analyzing actual veterinary practice data, presenting their findings in the final Zoom session.

The online modules are taught by GSM business experts and the live Zoom sessions on June 18, July 16, and August 13 are taught by veterinary industry experts. One hundred percent of past participants to date would recommend this program to their colleagues, according to a post-attendance survey of all participants.  

Upon successful completion of the program, graduates receive a certificate from the UC Davis GSM as well as veterinary CE credit. Registration is $2,500 and limited to 50 participants, with 15 slots reserved for UC Davis veterinary students, who receive scholarship support from Platinum program partner Zoetis.
