MS. Rebecca Moore GRADUATES FROM VETERINARY
MANAGEMENT INSTITUTE AT PURDUE


DENVER, Colo.—Ms. Rebecca Moore, Practice Manager, of the Lawrence Veterinary Hospital in Lawrence, Kansas is among 26 veterinarians and hospital managers who recently completed an intensive management program, the Veterinary Management Institute (VMI). VMI is offered through Purdue University’s Krannert Graduate School of Management and the American Animal Hospital Association.
    Over the past eighteen months Moore has attended four 3-day modules on human resource management, marketing management, financial management, and strategic thinking. Upon completing the program, she received a certificate in veterinary practice administration in addition to 72 hours of graduate-level management education. Moore is a member of the thirteenth graduating class. More than 850 veterinarians and practice managers have attended the program since it began in 1990.
    VMI is designed for veterinarians and managers with some management experience who want graduate-level management education. The program focuses on current management needs and contemporary issues, and prepares students for future management challenges in a highly competitive service industry.
    The American Animal Hospital Association is an international association of more than 29,000 veterinary care providers who treat companion animals. Established in 1933, the association is well known as a leader in veterinary continuing education and for its high standards for hospitals and pet health care.
