retirement
so this is only available to practice owners or self- employed vets? What about the majority of us that don't own a practice and who's boss doesn't provide these benefits? Guess we are still on our own, as usual.
RE: retirement
Hello Andrea, thank you for reaching out. If you are an employee of a practice that does not offer retirement solutions, we encourage you to discuss with your practice owner and ask them to call to request a consultation. Also, if you have other revenue sources than your current employment, regardless of their origin and as long as they are subject to a W-9 form, you might be considered self-employed and therefore eligible for the program. Feel free to contact us here if you have any more questions:

Age of retirement from AVMA?
I am 65 yo and suffered a fractured back 2 years ago. I am now very limited to physical activities e.g. lifting bigger dogs, stand for an hour to do a spay.
Thank you,
Sheila Kinty
