The Survey of Compensation and Benefits for Associate Veterinarians, a member service provided by the CVMA in collaboration with the provincial Veterinary Medical Associations examines the compensation and benefits provided to associate (non-owner) veterinarians in private practice and examines several characteristics (type of practice, years in practice, location, types of compensation, etc.) The resulting data is used to produce the Report on Compensation and Benefits for Associate Veterinarians -- an important benchmarking tool.

National economic surveys are conducted each year to gather information for the Report of Veterinarians in Government, Industry, and Academe. This report allows you to compare your earnings, hours and benefits with that of your peers.
