AASV Salary Survey Results Online

September 17, 2014 — AASV Staff

AASV's fifth salary survey of veterinary members in the United States and Canada is now complete, and a summary of the results is available for members (only) to access on the AASV website at www.aasv.org/members/only/SalarySurvey2014.pdf. The summary will also be printed and mailed to US and Canadian members. The 2014 survey gathered salary and employment details for the year 2013.

The AASV salary survey is intended to benefit the members of the AASV by allowing greater insight into the value of professional services provided by swine veterinarians. In addition, it functions as a tool to encourage veterinary students to pursue careers as swine veterinarians.

There were 920 US and Canadian members eligible to participate in the 2014 survey, a slight increase from the most recent survey conducted in 2011. However, the response rate was somewhat lower than in past years: 35%, compared to earlier response rates of 40% or more.

As in previous survey efforts, the AASV membership was classified into two categories, with members in each category receiving a different survey: 1) Practitioners, defined as veterinarians working in private practice and veterinarians working within production systems, and 2) Public/Corporate Veterinarians, defined as veterinarians working within the allied pork industry and academia. The 35% response rate was consistent across both categories.

The survey results are presented in a series of tables and figures comparing salary levels with other surveyed parameters, including age, gender, hours worked, number of employees supervised, employer/practice type, and position. The survey also includes a comprehensive list of fringe benefits, and indicates the percentage of respondents who reported receiving each benefit.

The AASV is indebted to IT Specialist David Brown for his management of the online survey instrument, as well as his expertise in compiling the survey results and preparing them for publication.
