The objective of this study was to determine the number of hours veterinarians in western Canada work per week, how they apportion their time by species, and clinics' hiring intentions for new veterinary associates. Of 1099 clinics contacted, 706 (64%) responded to the survey, representing 80% (1774/2227) of private practitioners in western Canada. Practitioners devoted 73% of their time to small animals (SA), 11% to beef practice, and 9% to horses. Sixty-four percent of clinics and 66% of practitioners were devoted exclusively to companion animal (SA and horses) practice; only 4% of clinics and 4% of practitioners were devoted exclusively to food animal practice. A total of 230 clinics were seeking to hire another veterinarian, representing 223 full-time equivalents (FTEs). When adjusted for clinics that did not respond, the total number of vacancies in western Canada could be as high as 347 FTEs with 57% of vacancies in companion animal practice. The survey, however, did not assess how determined the clinics were in their attempts to hire another associate.
本研究的目的是确定加拿大西部兽医每周的工作时长、他们按物种分配时间的方式以及诊所招聘新兽医助理的意向。在联系的1099家诊所中，706家（64%）回复了调查，占加拿大西部私人执业兽医的80%（1774/2227）。从业者将73%的时间用于小动物诊疗，11%用于肉牛诊疗，9%用于马匹诊疗。64%的诊所和66%的从业者专门从事伴侣动物（小动物和马匹）诊疗；只有4%的诊所和4%的从业者专门从事食用动物诊疗。共有230家诊所寻求招聘另一名兽医，相当于223个全职等效岗位（FTE）。若对未回复的诊所进行调整，加拿大西部的空缺岗位总数可能高达347个FTE，其中57%的空缺岗位在伴侣动物诊疗领域。然而，该调查并未评估诊所招聘另一名助理的决心有多大。
