About This Survey

The Veterinary Environment Traits Survey (VETS) is based on self-reported responses. It is designed to help veterinary professionals better understand their workplace values, preferences, and perceptions, and to encourage meaningful conversations about culture, expectations, and well-being.

This is NOT a pass/fail assessment, nor does it predict workplace performance. Results reflect your self-assessment at the time of completion and may change over time.

Recommended Usage

  • For Candidates – Use this survey to clarify what matters most to you in a workplace and to guide your conversations with potential employers.
  • For Employers – Use this survey to explore how a candidate’s values align with your culture and to identify ways to support their success.

This survey should be considered one piece of the puzzle—never the sole factor—in making hiring, promotion, or placement decisions. It is most effective when combined with interviews, references, skills assessments, and other standard hiring practices.

  • This survey is not medical advice, mental health treatment, or a diagnostic tool.
  • It is not a validated employment screening test and should never be the sole factor in hiring, promotion, or termination decisions. Any use of the survey for employment purposes must comply with applicable laws.
