Veterinary Breakroom: The Future of Noncompete Clauses

Clinician's Brief: The Podcast

Welcome to the Veterinary Breakroom! In the breakroom, Alyssa Watson, DVM, and Beth Molleson, DVM, discuss the important, relevant topics affecting veterinarians today. Noncompete provisions have long been considered part of the package when it comes to veterinary employment contracts. But recently the Federal Trade Commission has proposed banning nearly all of these types of clauses in the United States, including those currently in effect. Join us in the breakroom as we discuss how a potential federal ban—as well as current state restrictions—could shape the future of the noncompete clause for veterinarians.
