can i have my own vet clinic when im done with school?
Answers:
Of course you could, provided you work your a** off.
There are some vets who prefer to work a few days a week, and you could hire different vets, or you could find one to partner with, or one that will work at your practice full-time.
All it takes is money and lots of hard work.
No, you have to have a license. You have to become a Veterinary Doctor, because for one, it's the law, %26 two, you have to be licensed to treat %26 dispense meds to animals.
I'm sorry to say the answer is no. As a former vet tech I wanted to do the same, but federal regs say we are not allowed to own a clinic. I believe that is or was a question on the boards test.
If you have the right licenses and hire vets to work for you, it may be ok, but where would you get the money for that?
If you don't want to work with and under guidance of a veterinarian, then you should go to vet school and get your DVM degree. A clinic without a vet is useless because there will be a lot of animals needing surgery and meds.
Your alternative as a vet tech is to do your vet tech work as a member of a rescue organizatin, but in that case you don't own it, and you are still working with a vet, which it sounds like you don't wish to do.
That's why I said, you should go for your DVM.
