dvm360, Veterinary Economics, Veterinary Medicine and Firstline magazines recently surveyed the veterinarians and team members who read these publications to take the temperature of job satisfaction in the veterinary profession. More than 900 veterinarians responded, a group made up of owners and associates, men and women. We broke out some of these segments to show where they differed-and where they didn't-and also compared the results to a nearly identical survey from 2005 in which about 500 veterinarians participated.
