Inclusivity asks: What kind of environment are underrepresented individuals facing? This session will explore how inclusivity plays a vital role beyond diversity alone. We will discuss ways to build an environment that is accessible, welcoming, and leads to retention of BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) within the veterinary field.

Learning Objectives:

Recognize the importance of inclusion in leadership
Identify strategies to lead your veterinary workplace to an inclusive environment
Recognize the benefits of creating an inclusive environment
