Compensation is among the key factors when choosing to pursue or stay in equine practice, but there are many factors that comprise ethical compensation. Among these are the internal drive of the veterinarian, transparency at the time an associate is hired or when a practice is sold, finding ways to increase compensation when an associate hits a “ceiling,” and adjusting compensation models for associates who have gone part time to fairly reflect their time and work.
Whether you are a practice owner, associate or intern, you will want to join AAEP Compensation subcommittee members Drs. Mike Pownall, Jen Reda and Jim Zeliff along with veterinary sustainability expert Dr. Sam Morello for an interactive discussion of compensation models and concerns.
