Access to veterinary care has implications for both companion animal and human health and well-being. While strategies and resources exist to improve access to veterinary care in underserved communities, this information is typically not covered in veterinary school curricula in the United States.
Results of a recent study coauthored by Christy L. Hoffman, PhD, associate professor of animal behavior, ecology and conservation (ABEC), shows that a virtual shelter medicine rotation increases veterinary students’ knowledge, skills and attitudes regarding access to veterinary care. Learn more about the results of the study here.
Access the full study coauthored by Terry G. Spencer, DVM, Maples Center for Forensic Medicine, College of Medicine at the University of Florida, and Kathleen V. Makolinski ’90, DVM, College of Veterinary Medicine at Lincoln Memorial University.
