WEBINAR DESCRIPTION

Understanding Evidence-based Methods for Removing Financial Barriers to Care

In recent years the veterinary profession has come to understand the wide variety of barriers that our clients – both four- and two-legged – face when trying to obtain the care they want and deserve. Many initiatives to right this wrong are underway from research into data-driven practices to operational efficiencies that optimize veterinary professionals’ time and maximize their impact.

This workshop will explore a broad spectrum of ideas that practitioners can implement in their daily work to support these efforts.

Virbac (an acronym of virology and bacteriology) is a French company dedicated exclusively to animal health from the inception. It was founded over 50 years ago, in 1968, by a French veterinarian Pierre-Richard Dick. He wanted the company to have a strong focus on vaccines and medicines for companion animals, differentiating the fledgling company from large pharmaceutical companies that specialized in livestock back in those days. Now, for over 50 years, we have been shaping the future of animal health through the wide range of our innovative solutions provided to veterinarians, farmers and pet owners.
