If you haven’t yet participated in the 2020 AASV Salary Survey, the moment you have been waiting for (the "last minute") has arrived! The online survey will close this coming Saturday, May 30, so don’t put it off any longer. There are still 583 of 966 eligible members who have yet to complete the survey! If you’re an "Active" AASV Member (non-retired veterinarian) in the US or Canada, you should have received an email message containing the link to the survey last month. You may also access the survey by logging into your AASV member account at https://www.aasv.org/members. If your AASV username/password aren’t handy, just click the "Reset Password" link in the upper right of the website to have them emailed to you.
The survey requests information about your employment and salary for the 2019 calendar year. It’s much shorter, simpler, and less painful than the income tax returns you just filed!
AASV members are divided into two survey groups, based upon their employment type. The practitioner survey should be completed by those who oversee pig health for a production or genetics company, as well as those engaged in private practice. Members who work for a university, corporation, or government, who are engaged in education, research, technical services, public health, or regulatory work should complete the public/corporate veterinarian survey.
Once the data collection period has ended, the survey results will be pooled and shared with the AASV membership. Responses are confidential and the results are reported in a manner to assure participant anonymity. The more participation, the more valid the results – so do your part and complete the survey today!
If you haven’t done so yet, please complete your survey by Saturday, May 30, 2020.
