The American Veterinary Medical Association’s State of the Profession Report reveals a promising outlook for employers seeking to hire veterinarians, with a record number of recent graduates entering full-time employment. Over the last two years, around two-thirds of new Veterinary graduates have secured full-time positions, according to data from the AVMA Graduating Senior Survey. The report also highlights insights such as the majority of final-year students making definitive plans before graduation and a significant portion pursuing advanced education opportunities.
