How are the future of the veterinary workforce and access to care connected?

The veterinary profession is dealing with a workforce shortage and pet families are finding it harder to be able to afford needed care. These issues feel separate, but they actually have a lot more in common than you might think.

Join us on May 6th at 7:30PM ET for a Live Discussion with Valerie Marcano – DVM, PhD, DACPV; Shadi Ireifej, DVM, DACVS; and Serena Nayee, DVM to explore their research, “The Connection Between Access to Care and Access to the Veterinary Profession”, published in Veterinary Ophthalmology.

We’ll discuss:
-The socio-economic barriers affecting both pet owners and future veterinary professionals
-The influence of geography and education access
-Why these issues matter for public health and the future of the profession
-Practical strategies to reduce barriers and expand access
