VMI is a comprehensive, "mini-MBA" program designed specifically for veterinary professionals by AAHA and Purdue. This well-established program is in its 20th year, boasting more than 600 graduates who have obtained an education that goes much deeper than the nuts-and-bolts of daily responsibilities to cover management theory and principles.

The program consists of four integrated management modules, which are three to four days each.

1. Human Resource Management – the people in your practice
2. Financial Management – to ensure the profitability of your practice
3. Marketing Management – the matching of clients to services in your practice
4. Strategic Thinking – to ensure the continued success and growth of your practice

Professors from Purdue's prestigious Krannert Graduate School of Management and guest facility instruct VMI courses with the realities and nuances of veterinary practice management in mind.

Learning Objectives:

• Successfully manage and resolve "people issues" (Human Resource Management module)
• Ensure practice profitability (Financial Management module)
• Match clients to services offered by your practice (Marketing Management module)
• Sustain practice success and growth (Strategic Thinking module)

CE Credits, Certificate in Veterinary Practice Administration
Purdue awards program participants 2.0 hours of CE credit for completion of each module, and AAHA awards 20 hours of CE credit. Those who complete all four program modules earn the Certificate in Veterinary Practice Administration presented jointly by AAHA and Purdue University.
