The conference brought together thought leaders from across the profession \u2014 educators, associations, employers and regulators. Through interactive panels, roundtables and small-group discussions, we explored potential partnerships, examined emerging educational models and shared ideas.<\/p>\n<p>As the demand for medical care grows, the need for more veterinary professionals is undeniable. The impending launch of new veterinary schools offers an opportunity to refine and reimagine education for the next generation, building on past successes while addressing today\u2019s challenges.<\/p>\n<p>The academic community has made significant strides in recent years, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Adopting a competency-based veterinary education framework.<\/li>\n<li>Increasing emphasis on client communication, leadership, teamwork and financial literacy.<\/li>\n<li>Addressing personal well-being.<\/li>\n<li>Creating hybrid-distributed programs.<\/li>\n<li>Advancing the admissions process to open the applicant funnel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Veterinary education has never been static. It evolves in response to the needs of students, employers and society.<\/p>\n<h3>A Nod to Veterinary Educators<\/h3>\n<p>Before I go further, here is a quick shoutout to veterinary educators. You are among our profession\u2019s most passionate and dedicated individuals. You devote your careers to preparing the next generation of veterinarians, often at the expense of higher pay outside academia. Your commitment to students and the profession is inspiring. Thank you.<\/p>\n<h3>Practice-Ready Graduates<\/h3>\n<p>One of the most common critiques I hear from employers is that new DVMs are not practice-ready. The other? We need more DVMs.<\/p>\n<p>The reality is recent graduates are idealistic, intelligent, compassionate and eager to contribute and learn. However, they face the dual challenges of skyrocketing expectations and an ever-expanding body of medical knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>Academia\u2019s mission is to prepare entry-level veterinarians for a variety of careers, not just practice. Still, we must consider how educational approaches can better meet the needs of graduates and employers.<\/p>\n<h3>Key Takeaways<\/h3>\n<p>The six topics below \u2014 all discussed at Evolve VetEd HiVE \u2014 stood out to me as critical to our profession\u2019s future.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Emerging Needs<\/h3>\n<p>Among our profession\u2019s challenges are doctor and staff retention, rising tuition, faculty shortages, high student debt and burnout. Meanwhile, societal and workplace changes necessitate that our educational systems evolve.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the challenges, our issues are ones of abundance. The growing need for veterinary expertise underscores our profession\u2019s immense value. Educational approaches must adapt to address the obstacles collaboratively with educators, students, employers and regulators.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Rethinking Admissions<\/h3>\n<p>Admissions processes should reduce barriers rather than create them. High GPAs don\u2019t necessarily predict workplace success. Steps like waiving the GRE test, reducing volunteer-hour requirements, not requiring in-person interviews and embracing nontraditional applicants can help. Veterinary educators must take a more holistic view of applicants by supporting learners from diverse backgrounds and experiences.<\/p>\n<p>Encouragingly, while college enrollment declines across the board, veterinary schools continue to attract a growing pool of talented applicants.<\/p>\n<h3>3. From Inputs to Outcomes<\/h3>\n<p>Historically, veterinary school accreditation has focused on facilities, staffing and research requirements. While those are important, modern education should prioritize outcomes. Do graduates possess the skills and competencies they need to succeed? Flexible, outcomes-based accreditation could cut costs, streamline processes and better prepare students for the workforce.<\/p>\n<p>Kudos to the American Association of Veterinary Medical Colleges for introducing a <a href=\"https:\/\/todaysveterinarybusiness.com\/a-shared-journey\/\">competency-based<\/a> veterinary education framework that is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vetfolio.com\/\">learner-centered and outcomes-based<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Interprofessional Education<\/h3>\n<p>The time has come to educate veterinary technicians and DVMs side by side. Other health professions have embraced team-based care for decades. For credentialed technicians to practice at the top of their licenses, doctors must trust and delegate. If we model the roles and responsibilities for students, demonstrate collaboration, highlight good communication skills and build trust, the next generation of veterinary professionals will be better equipped to work as a team, help more pets and enjoy greater job satisfaction.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Professional Focus<\/h3>\n<p>Allowing veterinary students to concentrate on specific career paths has been discussed for decades. In the late 1980s, the Pew National Veterinary Education Program conducted a study, <em>Future Directions for Veterinary Medicine<\/em>, that led to advances in allowing students to acquire greater knowledge and clinical skills in their chosen areas of career emphasis. Seventeen years later, the Foresight report made several key recommendations, including \u201cAcceptance of the fact that veterinary licensure will not cover all areas of professional focus, but rather will lead to public assurance of competency in a selected area of veterinary medicine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Veterinary schools in Australia and New Zealand recently published the report <em>Rethinking Veterinary Education.<\/em> Among its recommendations is that \u201cVeterinary schools progressively expand the proportion of the curriculum devoted to \u2018tracking\u2019 to produce new graduates with a higher level of proficiency (including technical skills) in their chosen early-career paths.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While maintaining a broad-based curriculum is essential, offering additional hands-on training in students\u2019 areas of interest could better prepare them for success and address employer demands for practice-ready graduates.<\/p>\n<h3>6. The Cost of Education<\/h3>\n<p>Veterinary education remains one of the most expensive professional programs. Schools face rising costs due to the need to satisfy accreditation demands, maintain teaching hospitals and fund research. Higher tuition, more out-of-state students and larger enrollments have had to fill the gap, but that model is unsustainable.<\/p>\n<p>Distributive education, which leverages private partnerships and real-world training environments, is a cost-effective alternative. Schools can also share lectures and resources, reduce redundancies, and further explore three-year degree programs to reduce costs and student debt.<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s graduates are brilliant, collaborative and compassionate. Veterinary medicine and education will look vastly different tomorrow. It\u2019s up to us to shape that future. After all, it takes a village to raise a profession.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #008000;\">DON\u2019T FORGET ABOUT MENTORSHIP<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Evolve VetEd HiVE conference also explored whether the United States should adopt a profession-wide mentorship program for new graduates akin to the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons\u2019 Veterinary Graduate Development Program. Such programs provide structured support by helping graduates transition smoothly into the workforce. U.S.-based initiatives like MentorVet and Ready, Vet, Go have demonstrated mentorship\u2019s value in improving confidence and employee retention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Academics, employers, regulators and industry leaders must ensure the path forward is clear and supportive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":77381,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"iawp_total_views":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[526],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-77379","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-february-march-2025","column-creative-disruption","clinical_topics-veterinary-education"],"acf":{"hide_sidebar":false,"hide_sidebar_ad":false,"hide_all_ads":false},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.7 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>A Roadmap for Veterinary Education | Today&#039;s Veterinary Business<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Veterinary education has never been static.
