FAQs

What is the average veterinary office manager salary?

According to Indeed.com, the average salary for veterinary office managers in the U.S. is $51,476. However, you may be able to command a higher salary upon entering the profession by possessing a certification to prove to employers that you have what it takes to run their veterinary offices efficiently. This course also serves as preparation for three certification exams, including Microsoft Word, Excel, and the QuickBooks Certified User exam.

What does a veterinary office manager do?

Veterinary office managers are responsible for overseeing and coordinating administrative procedures in veterinary clinics or hospitals. In this role, you will ensure that the daily operation of the veterinary office runs smoothly and efficiently by scheduling appointments, billing pet owners for services provided, ordering office supplies, and helping supervise other office staff. In addition, the professional in this role will run the veterinary business to allow veterinarians and clinical veterinary staff to focus on caring for animals instead of the details of running a business.

How to become a certified veterinary office manager?

The typical career path for a veterinary office manager involves earning a high school diploma or GED (although this is not required), then enrolling in a certificate course to learn the job's specifics. Generally, 1-2 years of veterinary and office management experience is preferred by employers. The Veterinary Office Manager course will provide you with the skills and knowledge you need to succeed in your future career, in addition to putting you on the path to finding employment as a veterinary office manager upon successfully earning your certificate of completion.

How long does it take to become a veterinary office manager?

The Veterinary Office Manager course is self-paced and offers open enrollment, so you can start whenever you are ready and finish at your own pace. When you register, you will receive 18 months to complete the course. Employers generally prefer that applicants possess 1-2 years of experience in veterinary and office management, which means this course is a great way to show potential employers you have the fundamentals and skill set needed to perform the duties required in this profession.

What is the difference between a veterinary office manager and a veterinary practice manager?

A veterinary office manager's role is similar to that of a head veterinary receptionist with additional responsibilities. The veterinary office manager does perform management duties where other veterinary office staff are concerned, such as scheduling, inventory orders, accounts receivable, and ensuring consistent application of patient or client services. On the other hand, a veterinary practice manager is one step above the veterinary office manager on the organizational flow chart. The person in this role spends at least half of their time performing management duties strictly and has some formal professional practice management training. Veterinary practice managers will have all the responsibilities of a veterinary office manager and be responsible for marketing, budgeting, staffing, accounting, fee structures, and equipment and facility management.
