Are there more female or male veterinarians?

Answer 1

This has shifted within the last decade, but there are now more practicing female veterinarians than there are practicing male veterinarians. Within the next 10-15 years, there will be more female veterinarians total than there are male veterinarians total.

Answer 2

In the United States, the ratio just tipped slightly towards more women than men in the profession. Over the next several decades the profession is going to shift heavily towards women dominating the profession.

Answer 3

In the United States, the ratio of working veterinarians is approximately 50% male/50% female, and it is shifting towards a majority of females in the profession. In vet school in the United States, the ratio is approximately 3 females for every 1 male, and the ratio is increasing over time.

Answer 4

In the United States, currently there are slightly more female veterinarians than male veterinarians, for a ratio of approximately 1:1. However, in vet school the ratio of female to male is generally 3:1 or higher, so the overall ratio is going to start tilting towards females pretty quickly as the older, mostly male generation retires and the younger, mostly female generation starts running things.
