In this week's Digging In, graduates of veterinary medicine toss their graduation cap in the air and head into their long sought-after career, many are choosing urban clinics who specialize in small animal care, over rural, mostly mixed animal practices. In our rural, agriculture centered communities its necessary we have access to large animal veterinarians, but in some areas, the numbers are coming up short. The University of Missouri School of Veterinary Medicine is working to address this challenge. During the recent MOFB Commodity Conference we heard from Julie Braun, Executive Director of Missouri Veterinary Medical Association and Cliff Miller, DVM. They discussed the challenge and how the college is working to address concerns.
