Why veterinarians choose Kansas

  • Affordable cost of living, low housing costs, and short commutes compared with coastal markets like California or New York.

  • Strong purchasing power — competitive salaries stretch further across the state.

  • High demand: Kansas has several USDA-designated veterinary shortage areas, giving candidates real leverage on offers.

  • Diverse caseloads — from small animal medicine in Wichita and the KC metro to cattle, equine, and large-animal work across the plains.

  • Practice variety — independent clinics, corporate groups, emergency hospitals, and specialty centers.

  • Home to the Kansas State University College of Veterinary Medicine in Manhattan — an AVMA-accredited program and a strong hub for referrals and continuing education.

Kansas licensing for veterinarians

To practice in Kansas, veterinarians must be licensed by the Kansas Board of Veterinary Examiners (KBVE). The standard route includes:

  • Graduate from an AVMA-accredited DVM/VMD program or complete ECFVG/PAVE certification.

  • Pass the NAVLE (North American Veterinary Licensing Examination).

  • Pass the Kansas state jurisprudence examination.

  • Submit a completed application with supporting credentials to the KBVE.

  • Renew annually with continuing education requirements.

If you're licensed in another state and considering relocation, our consultants can guide you through the endorsement process and timing requirements.

How we work

For candidates: send your CV through our website or call our team. Your conversation is confidential — we won't put you forward for any role without your sign-off. We'll only present opportunities that match your clinical interests, schedule, salary expectations, and preferred location.

For practices and hospitals: tell us about the role, your team, and the type of veterinarian who will thrive in your environment. We handle sourcing, screening, and shortlisting so you only meet qualified candidates worth your time.
