Around the College

The UF VBMA’s Veterinary Business Conference, Feb. 22 at the college, was a huge success, organizers said. The event is aimed at veterinary students, practice owners and associates and provides business education and information on practice management and growth. Speakers this year included Dr. Andy Roark (at center in light blue shirt), Dr. Mary Gardner (far left, in maroon jacket) and Michelle Guercio-Winter (behind Gardner) of Patterson Veterinary, which sponsored the event.
