Joop Loomans on the EBMS 2016 in Australia

April 18, 2016 April 20, 2016by Mike Pownall DVM MBA

I am very excited to be one of the presenters at the Equine Business Management Strategies (EBMS) program in Sydney, Australia, May 1-5 2016. In advance of the EBMS I wanted to have a chat with Dr. Joop Loomans, the founder of the program in Australia. It is the only time this year that equine veterinarians from Australia and New Zealand will have access to a program dedicated to veterinary business management.

Whether is is Pricing, Employee Engagement, increasing Practice Value, Digital Media, or Developing a Culture of Customer Service there is something for any veterinarian or practice manager.

I created McKee-Pownall Equine Services with my wife, Dr. Melissa McKee, in 2002. Since then we have grown to include 4 equine hospitals. Even as a veterinary student I have had a strong interest in the business side of veterinary practice. I realized that having a strong business foundation in a hospital or clinic will give the framework to hire the best vets and staff and provide the best medical care. You can’t do that if the veterinary owner hates the business side of things or if the veterinary hospital is struggling to pay its bills because of poor financial management.
