Is there lack of racial diversity in this profession? We have many members of the organizations here that came from different ethnicities.

There are a variety of reasons why there is a lack of racial diversity in veterinary medicine. These reasons include a lack of resources and mentors in minority communities, a lack of exposure to the veterinary field, and financial difficulty in obtaining the necessary education. Additionally, there is often a lack of understanding of the veterinary field and its opportunities, which can make it difficult for those from minority backgrounds to pursue a career in this field.

Do you have any data to support that? I never once heard that there is a racial disparity in the field. Kindly clarify thanks

Advice needed on handing in notice, I recently signed an offer letter and understand the screening process takes 4-6 weeks. I have a month's notice period and have agreed a preliminary start date in Feb.

I was planning on not handing my notice in until the checks had been completed so its all secured (not that I think I will fail any checks), but apparently I need a reference from my current employer not previous ones. Can't really do this without handing in notice can I?

I’m a very experienced veterinary assistant who has been doing this job for about 4 years in total however because of my skill level I would say I am more of an unlicensed technician.

Any helpful advice?
