Future needs and recommendations for leadership in veterinary medicine

摘要

In November 2001, the AVMA Executive Board approved funds to support activities of the National Commission on Veterinary Economic Issues (NCVEI) Working Group on Skills, Knowledge, Aptitude, and Attitude. As part of that initiative, a project was undertaken with the overarching goal of conducting a needs assessment to provide the necessary background for development and implementation of programs to enhance the leadership skills of veterinarians and veterinary students. Specific objectives included identifying leadership needs and viable methods for enhancing the base of leadership skills within the veterinary profession.
