The DVM Parent Project, a group of researchers from within the veterinary industry with an interest in the needs of working parents, is conducting a survey on parental leave policies in privately owned and nonprofit veterinary practices. The survey is open to any team members who work in such practices and have knowledge of the practice’s parental leave offerings.
According to the survey investigators, the goals of the research are to gain a better understanding of how practices offer parental leave and learn what barriers practices face when offering parental leave.
