About the Program

The Power of Ten Program offers a small group of early‐career veterinarians the opportunity to complete a personal and professional development program comprised of in‐person educational opportunities and activities over a 12‐month period. The PVMA will provide topic experts, meals, and meeting expenses at no charge to the participant. Modules will be held at locations around the Portland Metro Area with the exception of attendance at the AVMA’s Veterinary Leadership Conference in Chicago. There will be in-person modules (4‐6 hours each), along with an overnight kick‐off retreat, several less formal social gatherings, and a workshop with other PVMA members. Meeting times will range from days to evenings, weekdays to weekends, and the format will vary by module.
