General Practice Skills
We’re proud to present General Practitioner Skills, an educational program to help you hone skills critical for every general practitioner.
Being an excellent veterinary diagnostician depends on a solid foundation in the basics: the critical skills we use daily to identify a patient’s core problems, narrow down potential causes, and propose a path forward for both the pet and owner.
These skills are not ones that are ever truly mastered, but instead are refined through daily practice and being open to adapting as new information is acquired.
