Synopsis
Society is growing more complicated, and needed veterinary services are becoming more complex. The new millennium will encourage cooperation among multiple types of veterinary services. Besides effectively managing a single practice, veterinarians must be prepared to work with optimum service to patients and business success for themselves. The skill to administrate single-source veterinary service sources is necessary for every veterinarian who will practice in the 21st century. A new book by popular veterinary consultant and speaker Dr Thomas Catanzaro, DVM, explains how to organize and operate a veterinary practice designed to prosper in this new environment.
