Rural Veterinary Success Survey

Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine, in collaboration with their colleagues at Kansas State University College of Veterinary Medicine, are trying to understand what makes rural veterinarians successful, and they need your help!

The two schools have developed a 10-minute survey with questions regarding your practice and career satisfaction. This survey is completely anonymous and is designed to identify success factors for veterinarians and veterinary practices. While much of the survey asks questions regarding rural practice, they are interested in the responses of all veterinarians in private practice regardless of location. ISU and KSU researchers believe this data will help rural practitioners be more successful. Thank you in advance for taking the time to help make the profession better!

Take the survey.

CE Opportunity

ISU’s Lloyd Veterinary Medical Center (LVMC) is excited to offer a weekly seminar series approved for veterinarian CE credit (recognized by the Iowa Board of Veterinary Medicine). This seminar series is presented by the LVMC’s House Officers (interns and residents), who are veterinarians engaged in advanced training programs in a variety of specialties, both small and large animal. You can also access a sample seminar using this link. 

Seminars are livestreamed every Thursday morning from 8:00-9:00 am and recordings are archived for later viewing. Participating veterinarians may watch as many – or as few – seminars as they like and can select topics of interest. Participants will record virtual attendance for each seminar viewed, and CE credits will be collated annually.

Registration for this series includes an annual subscription fee of $100 per clinic. Participating clinics will receive a login and password to access seminar content. The login/password can be shared among multiple veterinarians within the clinic. All proceeds from registration fees for this seminar series are used to support House Officer activities at the LVMC.
