Acknowledgments
This work would not have been possible without the contributions of many colleagues with whom we have worked over the years. We are grateful to the efforts of so many talented instructors and staff members in making our clinical skills training programs a reality. We are also delighted to have had the opportunity to watch our learners grow and mature into competent and caring practitioners. Thank you to them for taking care of the profession, animals, and their owners on a daily basis. Your work is difficult and vitally important.
We would also like to recognize the team at Wiley, specifically Erica Judisch and Merryl Le Roux. We have enjoyed working with you and appreciate your tremendous support on this project since from the beginning.
Emma
Thanks to my parents and family members who always supported me and helped me to achieve my career aspirations by encouraging me to work hard and seek out broad opportunities to learn. Thanks to my husband Matt for his unfailing support of all my projects and dreams, and for being my rock along the way.
To our co‐editor, Sarah, a special thanks for being such a wonderful collaborator and friend over the years. We feel very fortunate to have met you and have really enjoyed working with you ever since.
To Grace and Kate, thank you above all else. You are the light of our lives. Words can't express the love we have for you or our admiration for the people you are. Your patience with our many work hours, projects, and life changes are so appreciated. We love you with all our hearts. Chase your dreams with all your being – we are here for you!
Matt
For my incredible wife, Emma, for having the vision and passion to create this book despite everything else going on around us. I learn something new from you every single day. But enough with the summative assessments already!
For our two daughters, Grace and Kate. I am looking forward to again using evenings and weekends for the things you want to do! You are simply amazing and I am so thankful to be your dad.
And to my parents and friends who have supported and helped me through thick and thin. Life can be hard, but you make it easier.
Sarah
Thanks to Emma for inviting me to join this project, it is one of many we have collaborated on over the years. It has been a pleasure as always. Thanks to my husband John who is so supportive in so many ways in all my endeavors at work and at home. And finally this book, and my ongoing enthusiasm for “all things” clinical skills, wouldn't be such fun without all the help from my colleagues in the clinical skills lab team at Bristol.
