What is the International Conference on Communication in Veterinary Medicine or ICCVM?
Simply stated, it is an educational event dedicated solely to improving communication through evidence based, skill development.
We know that the combination of research, practical strategies and relationship building are the foundation for good medicine, good patient outcomes and good workplace culture. This unique conference is all that and truly combines the science and art of veterinary medicine.
This conference has been offered internationally since 2004 and is designed to bring together veterinary professionals from around the world acknowledging the role that skilled communication has in medicine, leadership and healthy workplaces. A dedicated and passionate group of veterinary professionals created a committee to ideate, organize and host exceptional gatherings of like-minded professionals.

Veterinary professionals are faced daily with, literally, hundreds of interactions with people; face to face, phone, email, text, message. It's no wonder that sometimes our message to others gets "lost in translation". Studying the science behind communication in veterinary medicine opens the door to a more satisfying, more emotionally rewarding and ultimately, a better delivery of patient care and client service. How does this help?
Communication skills are not things some people are just born with. They are individual skills that can be taught, learned and practiced. When grouped together in the context of each persons' personality and professional persona, they create a relationship with clients, with colleagues, with friends, with family that becomes positive and regenerative.
