VMC School of Veterinary Practice Management
A one week intensive, practical and comprehensive
training for veterinary practice managers

40 hours of VHMA-Approved Continuing Education Credit


What Makes This School Unique?
The VMC School of Veterinary Practice Management is taught by instructors who have "been there, done that." They incorporate a practical approach to the material rather than an exclusively academic point of view. Students learn specific systems and procedures that have been effectively incorporated into thousands of veterinary practices. Since the class size is small (less than 20), students develop relationships with their instructors and their peers that will last a lifetime.

VHMA-Approved CVPM Continuing Education:
This course is applicable toward the continuing education requirement for the Certified Veterinary Practice Manager program offered by the Veterinary Hospital Managers Association. Upon completion of the course you will receive 40 hours of continuing education credits (VHMA approved course ID 12-24).

1 Week Intensive + 6 Month Follow-Up
The 5-day program inter-weaves classroom teaching, workshops and "wet labs". The instructors use a tag team approach to keep the subject matter interesting and the energy high. Students will be required to take notes and turn in homework and project assignments. During the five days a great deal of material will be covered and the students will be provided with a wealth of fantastic resources that can be used in and customized to their practice upon your return.

As a student of the VMC School of Veterinary Practice Management, each attendee will continue to be assisted by their instructors for a 6 month period following graduation. This 6 month follow-up is essential to a student's success to ensure the transition from in-class instruction to practical utilization. The students are at liberty to contact their instructors at any time during the 6 month period in order to gain assistance with the implementation of management projects within their practices.

Overview
This program is designed as an intensive training session for veterinary practice managers, intended for individuals with a background in clinical veterinary medicine and practical knowledge of business management. A Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Business is preferred but not required. The course is entirely practical in nature, addressing all aspects of day-to-day veterinary practice management and is conducted under the auspices of Mark Opperman, CVPM, who is President of VMC, Inc. The course is designed by him to meet the ever increasing demands and challenges facing veterinary practice managers.

The school is held in Denver, Colorado, and registration is limited due to the customized nature of the course and individual tailoring to each student's needs. Upon completion of this course, a successful graduate should be able to effectively manage a veterinary practice. In addition to the formal, 5-day training course, the student has the added value of working and consulting with his or her instructors at no additional cost for a period of 6 months following graduation.
