Welcome

This committee will study the broad scope of issues related to the veterinary workforce in the United States. The study will explore historical changes in the size and characteristics of the veterinary workforce and adequacy of the current supply of veterinarians in different occupational categories and employment sectors and the factors that are likely to affect the numbers of veterinarians seeking jobs in different sectors in the future. The study will examine the current and future capacity of universities and colleges to provide sufficient numbers of adequately trained veterinarians and identify training needs relative to the demand for specific expertise. A report will present the findings of the study, and identify options for meeting requirements for a veterinary workforce.
