Using modules, this course will build on, and enhance, the knowledge base and skill set acquired in Phase I in the area of communications, human-animal interactions, professional development, and the client/patient/veterinarian triad. The focus in these areas will now move towards recognising difficulties that may arise and how to differentiate abnormal situations from normal ones. Problem-solving, conflict resolution and stress management through application of innate and acquired knowledge and skills will be developed. In addition, the course will introduce concepts of business and entrepreneurial skills which are required for successful veterinary practice.
