Many practices, as they get larger, will hire a business director. This is so the veterinarian can be turned loose to do what he does well and let the business director do what he does well. It's something that needs to be done, but it's not something I enjoy doing. When you look at veterinary medicine as a student, you look at it as a glamour job. Many times, I think, students make the mistake of going into veterinary medicine because of the glamour they perceive is in it.
Veterinary medicine has to be a way of life, really.
It's a situation where you're on call a good part of the day and evening, and then when you get called at 2 in the morning it might be difficult to get up and go. Yet, you realize that this is what you're there for. I find veterinary medicine to be a totally fulfilling job. Tramp Steamer Media, LLC All Rights Reserved.
