Challenges for the New Vet – Equine Vet Business Podcast #10
The overabundance of vets graduating into the work force has been a theme of recent blogs and podcasts. I was going to post my discussion on the subject with Dr. Katie Garrett, of Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital, at the beginning of the school year, but thought I should wait a couple of weeks so [...]



Converting Veterinarians to Social Media
  We are at a crossroads in vet medicine: either we adapt to the technologies of the new economic order or we die a slow, lingering death with no one to blame but ourselves. This harsh reality becomes evident when confronted with the dug in heels, shaking head, and rolling eyes of the older vet [...]



Equine Veterinary Business is Changing
Equine Veterinary Business is changing. I’m not talking about the industry, but rather the blog. One of the most profound things I have learned in business is that no business sector is truly unique and that there are lessons to be learned from other industries.  The light went on for me about this while I [...]



Generational Issues Between Veterinarians and Clients: Equine Vet Business Podcast #12
I had the pleasure of facilitating a table topic discussion on generational issues at the 2011 AAEP Annual Convention. Unfortunately, there is only 2 hours to try to cover every issue that attendees bring up so sometimes good subjects go unaddressed. One such topic was raised by Dr. Mark Roozen. He wanted to discuss how [...]



Social Media Transparency is Good for Veterinarians
  I have presented to 2 groups of veterinarians this summer on social media and it appears that the inherent transparency of it is spooking vets about involving themselves in social media.

Here is a brief summary of the services available, please contact me if there is anything I can do for you.


Virtual CEO relationship with your veterinary practice:  Most veterinary businesses are just not budgeted for an in house CEO. The truth of the matter is that most don't need one. Virtual CEO service enables you to have access to executive level thinking, planning and strategy regardless of the size of your business.  Together, we develop a strategic vision for your practice and then develop the tools and strategy to reach the vision.  For example, exit strategy is a primary objective of most practices buy very few have a workable plan.   Knowing you are succeeding is one thing.  Understanding why enables you to experience continued success. 


Consultant and Advisor to Industry Partners and Associations:  I have a strong track record of working effectively with industry partners in educational and strategic planning roles.  More than ever, it is critical for an industry partner to understand the reality of each customer's business.  This is an internal educational effort that leads to improved sales as well as improved customer outcome. 


Public Speaking:  I speak to audiences of all sizes, from University classes and groups to international CE meetings.  I am also available for keynote speaking engagements.  A storyteller at heart, speaking is something I really enjoy.  I weave learning and entertainment into an educational experience with consistently good audience reviews. 

Biography

 I’m Andy Clark, the President of Andrew R Clark, DVM, MBA, LLC.

Through an innovative Virtual CEO program I provide business coaching, solutions, strategies, and development for equine veterinary businesses in 12 states and two Canadian Provinces as well as clients in Europe. I facilitate two Veterinary Management Groups. My consulting work is diverse, from business coaching with individuals all the way to consulting and advisory work with fortune 500 companies.  In addition to consulting work, I am a very active speaker in educational, industry and motivational venues.

I serve as a trustee for the AVMA Professional Liability Insurance Trust, managing the Business and Liability Insurance programs for 82,000 members. I serve on the Board of Directors of Equinext, LLC and Business Infusions Software and the Kentucky Horse Park as well as the advisory board of ”eyeD”.

My wife, Kathleen, and I live on a small farm in Central Kentucky.  Kathleen’s hobby is riding Event horses and she supports wildlife conservation efforts in Africa.  My ‘doing good things’ energy is focused on fund-raising for the Markey Cancer Foundation.  My riding hobby is currently undergoing a radical transition.  I was raised around cattle ranching and from three years of age on, I rode quarter horses in western saddles.  Last year, poof, life is about transitions and I began riding in an English saddle and now I am learning to jump.  It is indeed a great adventure.
