National Veterinary Salary Statistics
Prospective applicants often inquire about
salary statistics of veterinarians. According to the AVMA, in
2001 the average veterinary practitioner earned $84,000. Veterinarians
not engaged in practiced earned on average $92,000. http://www.avma.org/membshp/marketstats/default.asp
Beginning salaries are different and are misleading to some degree
as salaries tend to rise once a DVM has gained a few years of
practical experience. The most recent statistics from the American
Veterinary Medical Association place the national mean beginning
salary for veterinarians (Class of 2002) at $46,300. Cornell graduates
received $56,094 as their mean beginning base salary. Since beginning
salaries almost always influence later salaries, Cornell graduates
have a significant salary advantage over others.
Cornell provides many career-related services through our office
of Veterinary Career Services. You are welcome to visit www.vet.cornell.edu/career
