Veterinary Workforce Survey

November 21, 2025

A message from the Chief Veterinarian of BC:

Hello BC Veterinarians,

We are requesting that BC veterinary clinics offering food animal services, and/or interested veterinarians, complete a 3 to 7 minute online survey to help us assess the 3 BC Government Vet Workforce Initiatives that we have implemented over the last 2 years. We launched the survey in October. If you have already completed it – thank you! Unfortunately, to date we have had a very low response rate, which may impact the future of the initiatives.

More information about the 3 programs can be found through these links:

Veterinary and veterinary technologist locums working in the B.C. Food Animal Practices Pilot Program - Province of British Columbia

Veterinary and veterinary technologist students working in B.C. food animal practices - Province of British Columbia

Regional Recruitment and Retention of Veterinary Service – Investment Agriculture Foundation of BC

We really appreciate your support in getting as many survey responses from BC veterinarians that use these programs as possible.

If the links or survey are not working for you, please email this address to let us know.

Thank you again,

Theresa Burns DVM MSc PhD

Chief Veterinarian, Ministry of Agriculture and Food
