Flourish Academy will offer its intensive Masterclasses again in early 2025! These highly interactive, cohort-style programs will help you master the skills of veterinary wellbeing.​
​Each class is a small-cohort program that leverages adult learning elements in "bite-sized" bits to align with your busy schedule. Between a brief live virtual class, your monthly challenge, office hours with your instructor, and engagement with your cohort colleagues, you can expect investing a few hours of time per month.

Certificate in Cultivating Positive Team Communication
Any way you cut it, veterinary medicine is a team sport, and great teamwork hinges on great communication - possibly most of all. Imagine if everyone on your team, hospital, or organization communicated in ways that build trust, strengthen relationships, solve problems, and even make conflict something to approach instead of avoid.
Flourish has taken the science of applied positive communication & conflict management and turned it into a powerful, actionable certificate program: the Certificate in Applied Positive Veterinary Communication. Whether you're the "Big Boss" or the newest CSR, we've curated powerful communication science and made it vet-med-actionable. In this program, you will:
​
-
Develop a deep understanding of positive communication for veterinary teams
-
Master the 6 core skills of relationship-strengthening positive communication
-
Build a basic interpersonal conflict "toolbox" to empower you to turn conflict into possibility
-
Learn how to receive feedback productively and deliver feedback effectively
We offer two programs running simultaneously: one for leaders, the other for non-leadership veterinary professionals. There's a perfect fit for everyone on the team!

Certificate in Positive Veterinary Leadership
The delivery of veterinary medicine is the result of human effort; effort that takes energy. As someone in a leadership position, your primary role is to create a workplace in which your team has the energy to be at their best. But no one ever taught us how to lead well. Until now.
Based on Flourish founder Josh Vaisman’s evidence-based framework laid out in the AAHA Press book, “Lead to Thrive: The Science of Crafting a Positive Veterinary Culture”, we’ve created the first ever “Certificate in Positive Veterinary Leadership” masterclass program. In this program, you’ll learn the skills of:
​

Building fearless collaboration in your team.

Amplifying team members’ contribution and impact.

Achieving meaningful goals, driven by the strengths of your people.
