Learn the practical skills needed to find success in and outside of your veterinary career

Each and every veterinarian deserves a fullfilling career.

But without the proper foundation, this profession can quickly leave you feeling in over your head…
Work can leave you feeling isolated and overwhelmed
You don’t feel equipped to handle challenging situations
Expectations and pressures from work impact your relationships
You’re not sure you have what it takes to perform at a high level
Educational debt seems impossible to overcome
It’s difficult to find a space for authentic conversations
That’s why we created the Power of 10. It’s an interactive program that gives the next generation of veterinarians the skill sets they need to confidently advance not just in their careers but in real life.

Power of 10 helped me connect with veterinarians statewide, build friendships, gain leadership skills, and learn tools for practice ownership and balance.

How the Program Works

The Power of Ten Leadership Program is designed to provide early-career veterinarians with leadership development, networking opportunities, and professional growth. Up to ten (10) participants will be selected from the applicant pool to join this exciting initiative, which includes in-person sessions, virtual learning experiences, and opportunities for ongoing collaboration.

Eligibility

  • The program is open to current NMVMA members who graduated from veterinary school within the last ten (10) years.
  • Veterinarians from any practice type or career path are encouraged to apply.

Expectations

To gain the full benefit of the program, participants are expected to:

  • Attend all scheduled Power of Ten meetings.
  • Obtain practice owner support for participation, as attendance will require taking a few days away from work.
  • Engage with additional opportunities, including webinars, a listserv, and other exclusive offerings for Power of Ten participants.

The NMVMA will cover the cost of program materials, meals, expert coaches, and curriculum design for in-person sessions. Participants will be responsible for their transportation and lodging if needed.
