Struggling to Find Great Veterinarians

or Reliable Staff?

You’re Not Alone — and You’re Not Doing Anything Wrong.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

In “How to Find Really Good DVMs and Staff,” Dr. Joel Parker pulls back the curtain on what’s really happening in the hiring market — and exactly how independent veterinary practices can compete (and win) against corporate recruiters, staffing shortages, and shifting workforce expectations.

Why the “Old Way” of Hiring No Longer Works
Dr. Parker explains the huge gap between job openings and available applicants — and why simply posting on job boards or association classifieds will leave you empty-handed.

How to Attract A-Players
(Even When Everyone Else Wants Them Too)
Learn how to build positive PR, elevate your online presence, and make your practice stand out so outstanding veterinarians and techs want to work for you — even if they’re currently employed.

The Secret to Identifying the Right People
(Not Just the Shiny Wrappers)
Discover how to “strip away the candy bar wrapper” to see who candidates truly are through strategic working interviews — so you stop making expensive hiring mistakes.

DR. JOEL PARKER

Two years after graduating from veterinary school, Dr. Joel Parker established his first private practice, quickly discovering the challenges of ownership. By implementing proven management systems, he transformed his clinic into a Standing Ovation Practice™—a model of operational excellence and exceptional client care.

Building on this success, Dr. Parker founded Veterinary Endoscopy Solutions (“Fiberoptics for Unusual Places™”) and Canine Equipment (“Gear Fer Dogs™”), expanding his expertise in veterinary innovation and animal health. His work in endoscopy deepened his interest in companion animal nutrition, leading to advisory roles with Mars Corporation, Walthams, and Royal Canin.

In 2004, Dr. Parker launched Veterinary Practice Solutions (VPS), a leading firm in veterinary management consulting. Through initiatives like Whiteboard Wednesdays and online training programs, he has guided thousands of veterinarians toward greater time, financial, and leadership freedom.

In 2024, he founded Parker Business Systems (PBS), a hybrid consulting firm helping practice owners optimize profitability and prepare for successful ownership transitions.

A lifelong advocate for private practice ownership, Dr. Parker divides his time between Vancouver, BC, and Clearwater, Florida, where he enjoys music, cooking, and time with his family and dogs.
