A new provincial initiative in Ontario offers up to $50,000 over five years to new veterinarians who choose to provide animal care in underserviced areas. The Veterinary Incentive Program aims to incentivize up to 100 veterinarians to practice in rural and northern communities, addressing the ongoing shortage of animal care practitioners. The program will complement the newly announced Collaborative Doctor of Veterinary Medicine program, which will be jointly administered by Lakehead University and the University of Guelph.
New veterinarians who choose to provide animal care in northern and underserviced areas could earn up to $50,000 over five years, thanks to a new provincial initiative.
Delivered by the Agricultural Adaptation Council, the program will incentivize up to 100 new veterinarians, with the aim of easing Ontario’s ongoing shortage of animal care practitioners. “By encouraging new veterinary graduates to practice in underserviced areas, the Veterinary Incentive Program will help address labour shortages head on, connect highly skilled veterinarians to great careers, and support local economic growth.”
