The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics states we already have a veterinarian shortage in the range of 3,000 to 5,000. Veterinary jobs are expected to grow 17% by 2030.
BELOIT, Kan. — The United States has a growing shortage of veterinarians, especially in the most rural communities. The problem is predicted to get worse if we don’t catch up with the need.
It's a rural community, about a two-hour drive from Manhattan, Kansas in one direction and about a two-hour drive to Wichita in another direction. “We have people that make 40, 50 hour-and-a-half minute drives just to come and see us," Dr. Red said.“I knew from the get-go that where I wanted to end up long term was in a rural practice, in rural America, basically giving back and serving the people that got me to where I am today," Dr. Red said.
Here is how the program works. Participants receive $20,000 annually to support tuition for four years. Due to its success, White feels on a larger scale, it could really help fix the shortage of veterinarians throughout the country.
