Do you have any information on the number of veterinary technicians that are vastly underpaid with low supply and huge demand. Who is going to be the "nurse" for all these new doctors???? That is the biggest vetmed shortage currently to me.
Hi! I'm new here and catching up with your posts, which I'm enjoying a lot. This is all very interesting to learn. I'm not a vet but a human MD, but my dad is a vet. We are from Costa Rica, where the veterinary education landscape is quite different from the US. We have only two vet schools, one public and private. Both are really good quality but the public one takes all the points for best vet school. When my dad studied, there wasn't the vet school so he had to go abroad. Eventually he helped to set it up in our country amongany others.
To this day, I wouldn't be able to share much data to compare it or add to what you shared. But what's definitely true in our country too, is that the old generation of older professors are retiring, and so the age triangle is somehow getting inversed too, if I understood correctly about that one point.
I'm super curious. I'll show this to my dad so he can have a read and see what he says about this all in terms of Costa Rican vet culture and education. 😊👍🏼
I am sure the small animal clinic in the strip mall of the high-end subdivision will always have a demand and really hard-working fellows with cowboy boots in their arm up a cows anus to their shoulder are needed in the real Oroville film. The quality is the concern.
I mean it’s not like they’re going to be Iowa State, Cornell.....

That is an excellent point, the shortage in vetmed is certainly not limited to DVMs. It really seems problematic 😬

Thanks for sharing your perspective! Yes, please let us know what your dad thinks :)
