Federal employment
Equity in Federal Veterinary Pay: There is an increasing need for highly trained veterinarians in federal employment. Veterinarians in Federal service are on the front lines of the nation's homeland security efforts. At the present time, Federal agencies lack sufficient incentives to recruit and retain the best and brightest veterinarians.
Status: GRD staff is working closely with the National Association of Federal Veterinarians (NAFV) to take a holistic look at this issue. The GRD and NAFV is comparing compensation of veterinarians to other health professionals in the federal government, and seeking a legislative solution to rectify inequities.
