New survey explores veterinarians' lives as parents

A new survey from Veterinary Economics wants veterinarians to talk about their parenting duties. Editors hope to learn more about how today's practitioners are juggling work and home life.

The survey was designed by Drs. Eden Myers and Ryan Gates, who are in practice and also write about major veterinary issues on their website, justvetdata.com. Their questions explore the educational background, family makeup and work choices veterinarians make, whether with one child or a dozen.

The survey is confidential, and respondents who finish can download a free “Best of Benchmarks” PDF, with tools and advice from past years of “Benchmarks: A Survey of Well-Managed Practices.”
