The workshop will be structured around a large group interactive session followed by small group work that will include interviewing actors that are trained to portray veterinary specific situations, giving and receiving feedback from members of the small group and the actor. The day will conclude with another large group gathering that will include goal setting for how and what to take back to the practice setting.
