Where did all the veterinarians go? As the veterinarian shortage increases, finding a veterinarian is becoming like finding a unicorn. A recent study estimates there will be a shortage of 10,000 veterinarians in the next 10 years in the US. With such stiff competition, it’s even more important to make your organization stand out when hiring.
Join Aimee St. Arnaud of Open Door Veterinary Care in a discussion with Dr. Lucy Fuller of Charleston Animal Society and Dr. Melanie DeHaan of Shelter Outreach Services, where they will cover:
- The types of compensation and benefit packages that attract veterinarians
- Honest but enticing job descriptions
- The most effective places to advertise veterinary opportunities
- Interviewing
- Setting expectations and goals for new hires
- How to retain veterinarians
This session is part of the Shelter Medicine series, a collaboration between the Association of Shelter Veterinarians and The Association for Animal Welfare Advancement.
This live and recorded program is approved for:
- 1 Certified Animal Welfare Administrator continuing education credit
- 1 CE towards ACO CE requirements per Ch. 829 of the Texas Health and Safety Code by the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS)
