Why Washington State University College of Veterinary Medicine?

What specific aspects of WSU's One Health approach attracted you to apply here?

Washington State University's College of Veterinary Medicine faces unprecedented demand with 200 applications from Washington residents out of 2,000 total, giving local students less than 10% acceptance rate despite a critical veterinary shortage affecting both rural food animal care and urban companion animal services. The Washington State Veterinary Medical Association requests $5 million over four years to add 20 students per class. How should budget priorities balance immediate public health risks against long-term workforce development?

How does WSU's emphasis on rural and food animal veterinary medicine align with your career goals?

In Southeast Washington, there is reportedly only one part-time food animal veterinarian available to serve nearly 80,000 head of cattle across a 3,500 square mile area, forcing producers to drive 1-2 hours to WSU's Veterinary School for emergency services. When veterinary services are unavailable, producers often attempt procedures beyond their skill level, potentially compromising animal welfare and food safety. How should society address this critical shortage?

Washington's proximity to international borders and ports increases the risk of imported animal diseases, yet the state faces a critical shortage of food animal veterinarians who serve as the first line of defense for disease detection and reporting. With only minimal veterinary coverage in vast rural areas, should the state provide financial incentives or loan forgiveness programs to attract veterinarians to underserved regions, even if this means fewer resources for other public health initiatives?
