DVM6: Watching Vets' Backs and Bridging the Gap in Veterinary Care Through Telemedicine
Description
Our latest episode of Petworking is all about televet services in the veterinary industry. With the rise of virtual consultations and telemedicine, televet services have become an increasingly popular component of the veterinary ecosystem. But how do these services maintain the legal and ethical framework of the Veterinary Client Patient Relationship (VCPR)?
In this episode, we talk to Frank DeCecco, Founder of DVM6, who has developed an innovative televet model that contracts directly with veterinary clinics to provide relief services. Frank discusses how his model establishes VCPR and partners with the client's regular veterinarian to provide true telemedicine services, ensuring continuity in care and improving the health of the pets.
Frank also shares his insights on how DVM6 offers vets and vet techs a means of returning to practice in a remote-friendly, less physically demanding, and flexible setting. With this approach, DVM6 aims to recapture some of the "brain drain" that the profession has experienced in recent years.
Whether you're a veterinarian, a vet tech, or a pet owner, you won't want to miss this episode. Tune in now to learn more about the advantages and challenges of televet services and how DVM6 is piloting a new model of care in this field.
