Business education is not a common part of veterinary medicine education or the education of other health-care professionals. Essential Business Concepts for Veterinary Professionals follows two sample veterinary practices as it guides the reader through essential business concepts in the areas of finance, accounting, financial analysis, lean business management, human capital management, and value creation.​ The book’s intent is to explain essential concepts in several areas of finance and management in order to empower the medical professional to make sound business decisions that lead to financial success and achievement of business and personal goals.
