This week on the podcast, Dr. Roark and Stephanie tackle a topic from the mailbag. A fellow practice manager reached out to Stephanie asking about an upcoming team retreat they are planning.

Uncharted Founding Member, Licensed Veterinary Technician and Practice Management consultant Senani Ratnayake is going to be offering up a phenomenal workshop for the public on Aug 14, 2021. Senani tackles a problem that is always present to a degree in our practices - workflow challenges. Some inefficiencies might feel normal to us because we've always done it that way and we don't even realize there might be a better way to move forward. This 4-hour workshop (approved for 4hrs RACE and CVPM credit) is here to help. Come dissect your hospital’s workflow with Senani Ratnayake, RVT so you can get out of the woods in 4 strategic steps. Then, talk through what it will take to get your team on board to lean into your strengths and address your weaknesses.

Registration is OPEN for our October Uncharted Veterinary Culture Conference! Come join us and work intentionally on your practice instead of in it: https://unchartedvet.com/uvc-culture/
