Veterinarians around the World are leaving the Profession in droves!

We designed this program specifically in response to the Global Veterinary Shortage Crisis. The average working life of a Veterinary Graduate is now just 6 years!

And that’s after a minimum of 5 years University study incurring an average debt of AUS$50,000

Why the Mass Exodus?

  1. The Stress of Client Interactions – Especially conversations about money – often with highly emotional clients.
  2. The Stress of working in an unpredictable high pressure work environment. With the (commonly held) perception of a lack of support from team mates and or employers.
  3. Disappointing pay – Compared to what other similar university graduates are earning.

These challenging experiences have a dramatic effect on the mindset of our Veterinarians. Watch SBS Insight Show May 2020 to understand the depth of the problem!

The Pain of Not Enough Vets

So many of the Lincoln Community of Veterinary Practice owners and managers are telling us they cannot find vets to hire and as a result are working far too many hours and their teams are under a lot of stress just trying to keep up with the work load. We couldn’t sit back and watch their pain any longer.

Lincoln instigated the Veterinary Shortage Crisis Think Tank in 2018 and quickly discovered it was a global problem. This research clearly showed that the veterinary shortage problem is due to attrition.

Leading Edge for Vets is specifically designed to keep our vets in Practice by equipping them with the skills to have a long and happy career.


Is this happening in your Veterinary Practice right now?

  1. There is worry about your client’s reaction to the cost of recommendations?
  2. There is hesitation to offer Gold Standard care options for your patients for fear of client reactions to cost?
  3. There is discounting of your services for fear of your client’s reactions to what you know you should be charging for your expert services?

This is exactly why we created this Program

Veterinarians that want a Change for the Better:

In your career, you may have encountered experienced veterinary colleagues that are highly successful and still absolutely loving what they do… Even after decades in general practice. These are often the vets that seem to manage their time exceptionally well, they have a knack for convincing clients to do what’s best for their pets, horses or livestock. They charge well for what they do, and their clients still love them.

They may have other enviable traits like being amazingly calm under pressure and incredibly resilient even when the going gets tough. Typically, they are vets that are actually earning a decent living. Have you ever wondered what the Secret is to their Success?
