Since 2021, VMAE has hosted monthly webinars to support veterinary practice health. The VMAE Practice Health Committee decided to offer content in a podcast format as an alternative for veterinary professionals who may prefer a different way to consume education.
During the month of July 2023, VMAE released four 20-minute episodes of a fascinating interview regarding de-escalation of conflict situations and dealing with difficult people in veterinary settings. Dr. Peter Weinstein, former chair of the committee, interviews Dr. Addie Reinhard, founder of MentorVet, and Mike Zegadlo, a former law enforcement officer.
