June 16, 2024: Providing a robust retirement plan can be a game-changer in attracting and retaining the best in the field. A 2022 study from Gusto Payroll found that across all industries, employees are 40% less likely to quit in the first year when they are offered retirement benefits.
Join Andrew Langdon, a certified financial planner exclusively for veterinary practices, and moderator Dr. Miranda Gosselin to explore the selection and management of retirement options that meet the expectations of potential employees and the long-term needs of your practice team. Sharing their personal practice retirement plans will be Dr. Debbie Spike-Pierce and Dr. Stacey Cordivano.
Discussion will also include strategies for veterinarians who work at a practice which doesn’t offer a retirement plan.

Miranda Gosselin
Dr. Gosselin is a partner at Millbrook Equine in Millbrook, N.Y. A 2006 graduate of the Washington State University College of Veterinary Medicine, she grew up on a thoroughbred breeding farm in Buckley, Wash. She also holds a BA in neuroscience from Smith College. Prior to joining Millbrook in 2011, Dr. Gosselin opened a successful solo equine ambulatory practice in Texas, and acted as a regulatory veterinarian at Lone Star Park. Dr. Gosselin helped shape Cavalcade Management and Education with Rhinebeck Equine and the Equine Clinic at Oakencroft and is on the board of EPIC.

Stacey Cordivano
Stacey, a graduate of Penn State University and the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine, completed a one-year internship at B.W. Furlong and Associates in New Jersey. Her training focused on sports medicine, internal medicine and general ambulatory practice. She subsequently spent an intensive six months in Ocala, Florida expanding her experience in the lameness field as an associate with Furlong and Associates. Dr. Cordivano has performed the duties of treating veterinarian at numerous three day events and horse shows. She also served as a state veterinarian at a Standardbred harness racing track in Chester, Pennsylvania for three years. She founded Clay Creek Equine Veterinary Services in 2010 and expanded to a two-doctor practice in 2021. In 2011, Dr. Cordivano completed an intense course focusing on animal chiropractic techniques at the Options for Animals Chiropractic School in Kansas and gained her IVCA certification. She has been excited to see the excellent results of adding the chiropractic knowledge into the rest of her general practice. Her interests include performance issues in the sport horse, alternative medicine and emergency medicine. She is an active member of the American Association of Equine Practitioners and now serves on the Wellness Committee. On a personal note, Stacey enjoys spending time with her husband, Ben and their sons, Carter and Asher. Sharing in the farm fun is their dog, Gigi, the farm cat, Cami, their two goats and two slightly chubby ponies. Dr. Stacey also enjoys hiking and trail riding. You will generally find her listening to podcasts on the way to her next appointment!
