What are some advancement opportunities for a Veterinarian?

Answer 1

Yes, although veterinarians tend to simply become better and more efficient at their current position rather than take a new position. This is mostly accomplished through continuing education courses.

Other methods include going back to school and becoming board certified, taking a new job that includes more responsibilities, or buying into a practice and becoming an owner or part-owner of a clinic.

Answer 2

Veterinarians tend to not have defined career ladders or promotions like you would see in a corporation or large business. In this regard, many private practice veterinarians don't so much as advance or promote as they do increase their salaries and get a better benefits package.

However, veterinarians can broaden their scope of responsibilities through several methods: working towards a board certification in a specialty, working with non-veterinary groups like shelters and rescue organizations, and by buying into a practice.
