AAVMC Meeting – March 11, 2006
Problems Identified
specialists Money generation should not be prime reason for
VTH 2 services running simultaneously, one for service
and one for teaching
Recruitment/retention of Clinical Faculty
Practice owners want from graduates: knowledge, communication skills, people skills, business skills, how to manage workload
Specialists are finding that VTHs have a lack of money, lack of equipment, lack of new space, lack of control over work day, too many goals, long days and weekends, not efficient, poor location, and that they can do teaching in other places
Board certification became the norm for entry level clinical faculty positions in the 1970-80’s
