Veterinary associates, other veterinary experts play The Road to Owning!

It's a silly but also serious way to consider whether a veterinarian (or nonveterinarian!) has the right stuff to own a veterinary practice. Veterinary Economics Editor Brendan Howard adapted the game's questions from practice appraisal and brokerage firm Simmons & Associates. A trip through “The Road to Owning” may help you-or an associate you love-reconsider your stance on this tough career choice.
