The Pros and Cons of Production-based Pay for Veterinarians

Veterinary Viewfinder Podcast

Pro-sal, production-based, merit-based - these are a few of the terms used to describe the increasingly common method used to pay veterinarians (and some veterinary technicians, as you’ll find out). What are the pros and cons of paying veterinary professionals on a percentage of revenue generated basis? Are your veterinarians gaming the system? Dr. Ernie Ward shares an experience you might not realize happens in many clinics, Dr. Cyndie Courtney relates her personal experiences, and Beckie Mossor, RVT reveals what veterinary clinic support staff really think about their doctors being paid based on the revenue they generate. This is a candid conversation about a highly controversial - and rarely openly discussed - element of working in veterinary medicine.
