UVP-262-Making Sure It's Written Down-How Do We Keep Discipline Consistent Across The Practice(s)?

Dr. Erica Pounds joins Dr. Andy Roark to answer a question about if, when, and how discipline and disciplinary actions should be systematized across practices in a multi-site organization. Is it fair that some people have stricter managers than others? Should everyone in every location expect the same response if they come up short in an important way? Let's get into this!

ABOUT OUR GUEST: My name is Dr. Erica Pounds, and I am an Area Chief of Staff for Banfield Pet Hospital in the Tennessee Market. I graduated from Mississippi State University in 2008 with a B.S in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and then went on to receive my DVM from the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine in 2011. I started with Banfield Pet Hospital following graduation and will be celebrating 12 years with the practice in August. My clinical interests include dermatology, internal medicine, and of course preventive care! Throughout my career with Banfield, I have been able to grow and develop from an associate DVM to Area Chief of Staff and even spent time as Interim Director of Veterinary Quality. I have a passion for development and love being able to see my hospital teams grow and achieve their goals. On the personal side, I am the mom of 4 amazing little boys and thrive in the land of Legos, Superheroes, and Soccer! I love running Spartan races with my husband and brothers. I am a big-time quilter and my sewing room is one of my most favorite retreats.
