UW-Vet School Helps Meet Vet Demand - a podcast by MID-WEST FARM REPORT - MADISON

A lot of our Wisconsin farms have veterinarians visiting their farm regularly with some even every day. But are there enough large-animal vets staying in Wisconsin to be able to handle that demand? Alycia Kowalski, DVM and clinical instructor in large animal medicine at the UW-Vet School, says half of their UW-Vet School graduates stay in Wisconsin. She provides some insight into the demand for large animal vets and how they're preparing their students to be able to take on that demand. 

“Based on the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there’s roughly two thousand veterinarians in Wisconsin,” explains Kowalski. “Just looking at those numbers, it definitely gives the feeling that they're certainly more animals than veterinarians.”
