In this episode, Hailey Mueller, DVM, and Katelyn Jaqueway, DVM, joined us to discuss their experiences with the USDA Rural Veterinary Services Grant Program.

The purpose of the Veterinary Services Grant Program (VSGP) is to relieve veterinarian shortage situations and support veterinary services. Rural Practice Enhancement (RPE) grants are for establishing or expanding veterinary practices by equipping veterinary offices, sharing overhead costs, and/or establishing mobile veterinary facilities. The Veterinary Medicine Loan Repayment Program (VMLRP) for 2026 offers up to $120,000 in student loan repayment with a tax offset for veterinarians who commit to three years of service in designated food animal or public health shortage areas, to bolster food security and animal health infrastructure.
