While there is a place for both models, it is apparent that the independent practitioner has his/her work cut out when it is time to retire and hopefully pass it on. “Who will buy my practice?” and “How do I sell my practice?” are now common refrains. There must be thousands of practitioners, representing every corner of veterinary medicine, who will someday find themselves in this dilemma.
Similarly, it was once the goal of every graduate to someday own a practice. Sadly, the economic debt, the ‘super-sizing’ of our practices, and the changes in lifestyle preferences now work against this dream of practice ownership and the inherent joy and fulfillmen…
