There are several categories of skills that veterinarians need to have, including technical, business and financial and communications.

Technical skills are the competencies taught at veterinary schools and include abilities such as auscultation (listening to the internal organs through a stethoscope), palpation, venupuncture, etc.

Business and financial skills include developing a budget, writing a business plan, determining hiring and firing practices, scheduling support staff, etc.

Communication skills are probably the most difficult skills to learn and include active listening, discussing difficult diagnoses, educating clients, etc.
