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.
I learned effective communication strategies and how to recognize what I need in order to be the best practitioner, friend, and partner that I can be. I also met the most amazing people and will value their friendships for a lifetime!

How the Program Works
Eligibility
This program is intended for licensed veterinarians who graduated within the last seven years; other candidates may be considered based on their level of interest.
Expectations
Ten participants will be selected from the applicant pool to participate. Participants will join a network of peers in a year-long series of learning experiences that commence in October and culminate in fall 2025 at CVMA Convention.
In-person learning experiences are scheduled to minimize the impact on working hours and the entire program is designed to garner support from practice owners who recognize their key responsibility in developing human resources.
Participants must maintain a CVMA membership. CVMA will provide food at each session, coaches, the curriculum team, and two nights of lodging in Nederland for the initial gathering; participants are otherwise responsible for their own lodging if needed and for transportation to all learning experiences.
