The HBE is THE opportunity for students to learn about the fundamentals of practice ownership and veterinary business leadership. This multifaceted program is conveniently designed to fit into a veterinary student’s schedule, allowing the student to learn on their own terms.  It’s also designed to build a community and help students grow their networks by introducing them to other like-minded veterinary business professionals and business leaders from across the profession.

Leaders in Training (LIT) is a topical exploration of the vast terrain of leadership through the metaphorical lens of mountain climbing. Facilitated by two enthusiastic sherpas, Drs. Jeff Thoren and Rob Trimble. The program will consist of monthly 75-minute Zoom calls with topics that are connected to four rotating themes:

• Purpose/Wholeness/Wellbeing
• The Foundational Improv Principle of “Yes, And…”
• Psychological Safety & Extraordinary Teams
• Facilitative Leadership & Coaching Skills
