Hats off to PVSEC and
the PVMA for hosting another great lunch
and learn and round table discussion for the newly formed…(and rapidly
growing!) PVMA Managers Group.
Before we discuss the group, we need to take a second and talk
about Pittsburgh. Has anyone been
recently? Because it is DEFINITELY
not the steel town of yester year.
It is a modern, hip, funky, INEXPENSIVE, trendy, smart, happening
gateway to the Midwest. It is a
city of bridges (I think someone told me there were 17 total) and it is a
stratified city, built on layers as it climbs up and down the ridges of the
western Pennsylvania landscape. To
look into the skyline is not to look INTO the skyline, but up, down, across and
over into the skyline. It fills your line of vision. An 8-oclock window seat at a restaurant is a light
show. And during economic times
that have crippled many major, US cities; the universities and medical
facilities of Pittsburgh have kept unemployment at nationally recognized low
levels.
Which brings me to PVSEC. What do you want to know? Want a tour
of their modern, sleek hospital? See evidence of their employee success by
walking down the ‘Hall of Fame’ where
pictures of employees who have passed their five year anniversary cram the
walls? How about a tour of their
CAT scan? The linear
accelerator? We could meet the
kind folks in the Derm or Optho department? And along the way we might meet any number of veterinary
technicians who not only strive to be great nurses, but great leaders. This is a practice where the integrity
of the leaders has bled out into the group at large. They are dedicated, juiced about their work and extremely
successful. In fact, in the short
time since their last remodel, they are expanding again.
The PVMA managers group will unite the veterinary
professionals of Pittsburgh with those in Erie, Bloomsburg, Scranton-Wilkes
Barre, Philly, Harrisburg, State College and all the little towns in
between. It will bring addition
great education to a program of continuing education that has already proven
itself to be affordable and top notch.
The members of the group are dedicated to not just practice growth, but
personal growth and who could forget fun and friendship. If you haven’t joined yet or want more information,
come to the Three Rivers
Veterinary Symposium in November.
Additionally visit our website. 2012 has been a great year of exploring
the nearly limitless boundaries of this organization and 2013 is steaming on
the launch pad. See you there!
