Eligibility Expectations The program is for current WSVMA members who have graduated within approximately the last 6 years. Veterinarians from any practice type or career path are invited to apply. Ten participants will be selected from the applicant pool to participate.
To derive the most benefit from the program, your attendance is expected at all Power of Ten meetings. Please get your practice owner’s commitment to support your involvement in this initiative since it means you will likely miss a few days of work for these important sessions.
Participants will also have the opportunity to participate in a listserv, webinars, and other special offerings exclusive to the Power of Ten.
WSVMA will provide food for gatherings, coaches and the curriculum team. Participants are otherwise responsible for their own lodging if needed and for transportation to all learning experiences.
