$3M grant renews funding for Purdue program expanding access to the veterinary profession

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. —

The Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine is receiving vital new federal support for an innovative program addressing a national shortage of veterinarians in public health and rural/food animal practice in Indiana and beyond, as well as a significant lack of underrepresented individuals entering the veterinary profession. The Health Resources and Services Administration, an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, has renewed a five-year, $3.2 million grant to further the success and impact of Vet Up!® The National Health Careers Opportunity Program Academy for Veterinary Medicine.
