Does anyone have any thoughts? I find this concerning but am still trying to figure it all out.
Class sizes are increasing at many schools, the economy isn't where it was when the AAVMC was warning about future shortfalls, and in SA medicine, the number of clients per vet is decreasing (on average). Even in FA med and public health, people are concerned that jobs are not as available as previously thought. Our tuition has increased and salaries have been pretty stagnant. The AAVMC just accredited Ross, what will this do to graduate's employment statistics? What impact would 400-500 new graduates a year from 5 new schools have? Is it part of their job to "protect" the veterinary job market?
The article is talking about 5 school in various stages of planning--I'd guess one or two won't even be built for 10-15 years if ever. 3 are talking about using the distributive model that Western uses, UNAM in Mexico uses Banfield, and I think the potential school in Buffalo would include a teaching hospital. I can't say I know a whole lot about this but it seems like it couldn't work without a large population base (such as southern California for Western...). Any Western students or grads have any opinions?
Are there any recent grads who can comment on the current job market?
