Communication for Veterinary Practices

In the veterinary profession, contact with the public and customer service occupies 50% of the functions. That is why intuition, observation and communication skills are paramount to success. Also, the emotional connection established with the staff will be a decisive factor for customer loyalty. Finally, by improving overall communication in the work set, stress and burnout can be strongly reduced.

In this module you will learn the basics of good verbal communication by telephone or email, to build trust, shorten call times, foster loyalty and achieve much more effective communication. It will also introduce you to the world of telemedicine with the essentials of a videoconferencing service.
