The AAEP in fall 2022 conducted an Equine Medicine Salary and Lifestyle Survey of its U.S.-based members to determine the average salary among those practicing equine medicine, with a specific interest in exploring the salaries of recent graduates. Among all those surveyed, the average (mean) salary was $154,217. The salary among those who have graduated in recent years (2016-2019 graduates) was $88,973.
Besides salary data, the comprehensive survey examined hours worked, benefits, debt load, lifestyles, job satisfaction, and more. For key findings and related discussion in these and other areas, access the complete survey results by clicking the Download Resource button.
