2014 Compensation & Benefits Survey Now Open: Practice Owners Asked to Participate by 5/16
This survey will update our data from 2012, when we previously published similar survey results. The OVMA is one of only a few state associations that compiles and provides such information to its members. We are asking practice owners and/or managers to complete this survey on behalf of their clinics. The more who participate, the more accurate and relevant the data will be, especially in more rural areas of the state.
