Veterinary Leadership Institute

The Veterinary Leadership Institute (VLI) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the development of healthy and resilient leaders who can make a positive difference for the profession.

Creating Resilient, Influential Veterinary Healthcare Professionals

The veterinary profession is demanding and success in practice requires more than the clinical and technical skills of medicine. It is this awareness that led to the development of programs like the Veterinary Leadsership Experience (VLE) that give participants the opportunity to explore our organization’s foundational principle: to effectively influence and lead others, one must effectively lead one’s self.

“I had lost my sense of self and coming to VLE helped me reconnect with who I really am and what's important to me, my values. I am forever grateful.”
