America Faces Critical Shortage of Veterinarians
Date:9/25/2008

"This year VPHWEA stalled in committee, and is unlikely to pass," Dr. Lutschaunig explains. "A similar version of it passed in the 2007 Farm Bill, but, unfortunately, it was removed in conference committee."

There is good news. The Higher Education Reauthorization Bill, passed in July, includes the Veterinary Medicine Competitive Grant Program. This program would offer small grants -- up to $500,000 -- for improvements at veterinary schools.

"We're pleased that this grant program passed, but unfortunately, because it only offers small grants, it will not increase capacity at veterinary schools adequately to have an impact on the shortage of veterinarians," Dr. Lutschaunig explains.
