"Managing Your Economic Future in Veterinary Medicine," the April 1996 financial symposium sponsored by the American Veterinary Medical Association met the expectations of those who attended. Another symposium dealing with this subject would be beneficial according to the participants. Three major categories, veterinary medical education, career concerns and professional perspectives were divided into 12 subsets of activities and addressed by individual speakers. Each attendee attended breakout sessions to select the 5 issues of highest priority and suggest solutions.
