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 8‐month period.
The PVMA will provide topic experts, meals, and meeting expenses at no charge to the participant. Current membership in the PVMA is required for participation. Modules will be held primarily at the PVMA office in SW Portland, with the exception of attendance at the AVMA’s Veterinary Leadership Conference in Chicago! There will be in-person modules (5‐6 hours each), along with a two-night kick‐off retreat, and several less formal social gatherings with other PVMA members.

“The PVMA Power of 10 Program is a platform for our voices and can allow us to make change on a very local level. The program provides much needed community, exposes its participants to innovative ideas and allows for skill development, reflection and insight. At the very least it supports the lives and careers of young veterinarians and at its most it could be a vehicle for a revolution in the Portland veterinary community!”
