Who do vets work with?

Answer 1

For the most part, veterinarians in private practice work with at least a few people - it isn't cost effective to have a veterinarian doing everything from cleaning kennels to scheduling appointments to calling up past due accounts as well as doing veterinary work. The minimum staffing for a one doctor practice tends to be 2-3 people plus the veterinarian - a vet tech, a receptionist/records/billing person and possibly a kennel person.

However, in the United States, the trend has been towards multidoctor practices, where you would have 1-2 receptionists, possibly another person handling medical records, maybe another person handling accounts and billing, a vet tech per doctor plus one or more kennel staff and vet assistants. Some clinics have 30 people or more on site at any given time.

If you want to work alone, you can pursue a veterinary pathlogy residency and then work from home reading microscope slides and writing up pathology reports. This is a very valuable aspect of veterinary medicine, but one that relatively few veterinarians choose to pursue.
