About the Peer Advisory Conversation
As a core component of the Quality Assurance program, the conversation supports veterinarians in assessing their practice against professional standards and identifying opportunities for learning. Through conversation with a trained Peer Advisor, veterinarians find support in their efforts to deliver quality care and service. The conversation includes tips for managing risk areas; insight into practice standards and regulatory requirements; and gives suggestions for continuing professional development.
