Note
A regular plural, and an unambiguous one. Veterinarian can also work as an adjective meaning "veterinary," but English adjectives take no plural ending, so veterinarians is always the noun, the doctors who treat animals. In the possessive plural the apostrophe follows the s (the veterinarians' report). Before another noun, writers use the singular or adjective form: veterinarian care, not veterinarians care.
