Just think of me as a big, black spider, plotting and planning ways to get you to my sticky Web site. In this scenario, you're the juicy fly, I'm afraid. But when you get to vetecon.com I hope you'll be happy as a clam. (This is where my metaphor falls apart, in case you didn't notice.)

We start by giving you chances to comment. On an article you read. On an industry issue that we raise. Breed bans, for example. And you can always contact us from the site.
We also post tools. So with this issue, for example, you can get a sample Receptionist Position Description and sample Receptionist Training Guidelines from Benchmarks 2006, a study that shared data from Well-Managed Practices. And we post the tool we feature every month in Click & Copy. (This month it's a client education handout on pet obesity.)
When we've put together something extra for you online, we're trying to let you know in print. So we're flagging those items in the related articles. And we're listing them on our table of contents.
But wait, that's not all. When you get to vetecon.com, you also get quick links to editorial you may be interested in on our sister publications' sites. Breaking news from DVM Newsmagazine. Profiles of clinical ground-breakers from Veterinary Medicine. Pearls of practice from Firstline. AND you can get information about the live events Veterinary Economics hosts. We post a list of upcoming events in the top bar. And we link to thecvc.com where you can learn more and register.
Wait, there's more! We post all of our classified ads, so you can look for a new job or a new associate. And we link to our online buyer's guide, vetguide.com, so you can research a new ultrasound or radiograph machine, or even a laser. Plus you can search industry specific information at www.vetmedsearch.com.
Bet you think I'm done, right? But no. In addition to providing past articles about everything from associate pay to zany marketing ideas, we maintain a separate site just for design issues. So whether you're building a new hospital or remodeling one exam room, you can visit HospitalDesign.net for great advice that will help you make the most of your resources.
What would you expect to pay for such a trove of information? $200 a month? $20 a month?
Well, we provide all these interactive resources for FREE. It's a deal that can't be beat. So go get caught up today.
