Low staff morale, burnout, financial challenges, workplace drama and a host of related challenges can easily make our veterinary careers less joyful. The Canadian Veterinary Medical Association’s (CVMA) Emerging Leaders Program (ELP) can help bring joy back into the workplace by teaching you how to cope with a variety of challenges encountered in veterinary practice.

The ELP offers experienced professionals as well as recent graduates opportunity to explore their approach to personal and professional accomplishments and their working relationship with colleagues. All participants, regardless of their area of practice or years of experience, will come away enriched from this highly interactive 8-hour workshop.

This unique leadership experience is open to all members of the CVMA. With the sponsorship from Virox Animal Health, CVMA is offering the opportunity to CVMA members who graduated in 2005 or later to apply for full sponsorship to participate in the program.

In addition to ELP session, participants are also invited to attend CVMA’s signature events including the 2016 CVMA Summit (focusing on the development of a Pan- Canadian Framework for veterinary oversight on the use of antimicrobials in animals) and the CVMA AGM and Awards Luncheon.
