Veterinary medicine is a dynamic field allowing all team members growth in every aspect of the science and profession. It is the only profession that allows a medical team member to be components of administration, surgical, radiological, emergency medicine, internal medicine, and surgery teams all in one day. With increasing expectations of quality care and technology, a team member's knowledge and responsibilities are growing at an exponential rate.

The Veterinary Medical Team Handbook is designed as a training resource for the practicing veterinarian and veterinary practice staff. It provides not only technical knowledge but also includes suggestions for effective communication within the veterinary practice. The aim is to increase the staff's ability to detect health problems as well as making technical staff effective communicators with each other and with the clients.
