3 Technology Solutions to Help Your Clinic Practice Social Distancing

Over the past few weeks, we have seen veterinary clinics practice social distancing in an impressive variety of ways. Some clinics are using painters’ tape and floor signs to demarcate six-foot distances. Many are asking clients to wait in their vehicles while their pet is examined inside. Others have launched virtual visits, which take place over video chat systems such as Skype or Zoom. No matter which option you employ, one thing is clear: we’re all committed to flattening the curve and to getting through this together.

6 Elements that Take the Guesswork out of Defining Professionalism

Professionalism helps us construct a shared code of what is acceptable behavior in, and often outside of, the workplace. I set out to write an article about professionalism that did not include my opinions and was based in solid fact. The problem is that the official definition of professionalism is vague and subjective, leaving it open to interpretation. For example, according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, professionalism is defined as “The conduct, aims, or qualities that characterize or mark a profession or a professional person.” Big help, right? Besides this, there are a few additional challenges when seeking to define professionalism.

Modern minimalism: Dr. Margaret Fortier’s DVM360 design award winning clinic

We traveled to Ashburn, Virginia to chat with Dr. Margaret Fortier at her new practice, Goose Creek Veterinary Hospital. Goose Creek Veterinary Hospital has a minimalist aesthetic with personal touches worked in. It starts with her logo, an homage to Greta, a wire-haired dachshund. “Greta was the first love of my life because she was my first dog as an adult. I got her before I went to vet school and she was with me through vet school, failed relationships, marriage and kids. When she passed away, it broke my heart. It’s my tribute to her.”
