🚨CALL TO ACTION - NOV 3, 2025🚨
🤝 In collaboration with Dr. Bradley Bishop, DVM, DACVIM - a major leader behind most anti-noncompete information in our profession
The Federal Trade Commission of the United States has made the unfortunate decision to roll back its 2024 ban of most non-competes. This decision was recently voted on in September, but now the FTC is seeking feedback on how non-competes affect people.
It's no secret how non-competes affect healthcare workers, including those in veterinary medicine. Most of us know someone affected negatively by a non-compete agreement. Some of us even know people who have had to move significant distances or even out of the state to continue doing the work that they love.
This decision will affect veterinary medicine in a multitude of ways, including continuing to trap veterinarians in predatory contracts, continuing to financially harm interns and residents, decrease access to veterinary care (including specialty care), and ultimately contribute to the mental unwellness of the profession.
And listen - the FTC knows that these are harmful. They received over 25,000 comments the last time they were trying to act on this that were in support of a ban. So whether they will listen to us or not this time is unclear; but we do have an obligation to try to protect the people in our profession from these non-competes.
You can find a template to use to give the FTC feedback in my bio, or you can directly go to the website which is linked both in the post as well as in the document in my profile.
⚠️ ANYONE CAN GIVE FEEDBACK, THIS IS NOT VETERINARY MEDICINE EXCLUSIVE ⚠️
