Train your entire staff together on issues that affect everyone with this resource from AAHA Press. Most practice managers train individual staff members on their duties as they are hired, but often don’t address issues that affect the whole staff, stopping short of complete training. These easy-to-implement weekly, biweekly, or monthly staff training meeting guides teach all new staff members office-wide protocols so everyone, from the receptionists to the veterinary technicians, know, for example, how much the practice charges for X-rays and why. This manual can be modified to fit existing protocols or can be used to develop new ones. Save time and create consistency with How We Do Things Here: Developing and Teaching Office-Wide Protocols.

How We Do Things Here features:

  • Basic and advanced quizzes for your whole staff and your technical team
  • Separate keys and quizzes, for the trainer and the trainee
  • Instructions and introductions for the trainer and the trainee
