Watch the video to learn why every veterinary practice should have a copy of Financial Management of the Veterinary Practice.
Financial Management of the Veterinary Practice has been such a valuable resource to me during my career. I originally purchased the book because it was on the CVPM prep reading list. It helped me tremendously as a hospital manager. Now that I am in a regional role and helping to train and develop new hospital managers, I recommend it to all of them. I am reluctant to loan out my copy, so I usually just end up just buying them their own.”
—Kaite King, RVT, Regional Operations Director, NC5, and Camp Bow Wow, Fair Oaks
