CANYON, Texas (KVII) A program fairly new to the Texas Panhandle aimed at filling a void of veterinarians in rural communities is on track despite weather related delays. A $90 million investment by Texas A&M University is impacting the Ag Industry and West Texas A&M University.

"We are training rural practitioners to serve the need of the Panhandle and South Plains," said Dr. Dan Posey, VERO academic coordinator. "There's no place in this world that you'll have this much learning and research power associated with it."

When completed a 22,000 plus square foot (VERO) Veterinary Education Research Outreach center and a diagnostic lab will help recruit students from all over the country who are interested in pursuing a career in vet sciences....

A shortage of veterinarians in rural communities will hopefully decrease as Texas A&M's $90 million investment in the future of large animal health takes shape. Both the (VERO) and the diagnostic lab are scheduled to open in the fall of 2020.

Texas Tech moving forward with academic planning for veterinary school

Quote:
The Texas Tech Board of Regents is hiring a consultant to help with the academic planning and development of the Texas Tech School of Veterinary Medicine in Amarillo.
Regents met Thursday, and although action wasn't taken, the board discussed the plans for the vet school..
The Board of Regents will consider a contract with Alastair Cribb, former dean of the University of Calgary Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and current dean of the School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University, for consulting services at the vet school. Cribb, according to Tech, has worked with faculty and staff to develop the administrative and academic model necessary for accreditation.
"He's been instrumental in helping us form the academic designs, the building designs, working with our stakeholders, he's been really important to us as we develop this program," said Guy Loneragan, dean of the veterinary school. "When the accreditors come back in May next year, they want to see our syllabi, they want to see our course content. We really want to demonstrate we're ready to start delivering that curriculum, and we'll be ready to do that."
The School of Veterinary Medicine anticipates opening in the fall of 2021, officials said, and will enroll a target class size of 60 students. The four-year school of veterinary medicine expects to enroll a total of 240 Doctor of Veterinary Medicine students, with a faculty and staff size of about 90 people.
Earlier this summer, the Tech Board of Regents voted to spend nearly $7 million for "Design Professional Stage 2" services for Tech's planned School of Veterinary Medicine facilities. Those services consist of the design development, construction documents, construction administration phases and information related to the probable cost and project schedule.

Has already expanded the number of slots through WTAMU.

But not by enough...

Just because more people are applying doesn't mean that the number of slots should increase to accommodate them. Surely you of all people understand that. Do you not understand the concept of supply, demand, and how that impacts incomes?

---

I understand very well. And I am not suggesting every single applicant that doesn't get accepted to A&M will come to Tech or will qualify. But it is documented that numerous applicants are going out of state due to lack of available slots. Tech hopes to bridge that gap.

---

I still don't understand why this is a problem.

Students go to out of state school, pay out of state tuition, and become a vet. Vets from other schools move to Texas... thus, the state of Texas avoids paying partial tuition for these vet students.

Tech is asking the state to supplement the cost of educating these vet students that go out of state. Unless the state of Texas can't attract vets from out of state schools (Tech's own statements disprove that), then there really is no need for the state to foot the bill.


The state should be focusing money on the area of need... supplement rural vets, either by paying a stipend or a loan forgiveness plan. The amount of money already spent on tech vet school could have solved the rural vet problem already.

With this logic, we should close the atm vet school

Because if we can attract 20% of the vets (throwing out a number for the sake of the argument), we can attract 100% of the vets to the state, right? And they will surely all be from top notch programs that are just as good as A&M, right? That's logical to assume by your standards? You really are a tech grad, aren't you?

It is estimated the school will cost about $90 million for facilities, but private donations have been raised that will aid in covering those costs, according to The Texas Tribune. This initial $17 million will allow Tech to start designing curriculum and overall development.
LINK: Texas Tech receives $17 million to build the state's second vet school
The development of this facility means the State of Texas will have two vet schools, something Texas A&M has had a monopoly on since 1916. However, Tech still needs approval from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board and another third-party accreditor for its academic program.
The university hopes to enroll its first class into the school by 2021. The four-year school is expected to serve 240 doctor of veterinary medicine students, an additional 150-200 non-DVM graduate students, and about 90 faculty and staff.
In June, the System's Board of Regents approved an $8.4 million budget that established a design, professional services, administrative costs and other items related to the school. The facility will include both a main site and a large-animal facility off Loop 335 in Amarillo.

Love how tceh pretends they're posh aristocrats (being courted by the PAC 12) and they call Aggies "sheep herders"....but they're downright giddy about a vet school.

Envy is disgusting.

Higher ed board paves way for Texas Tech vet school

Quote:

---

Quote:
The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board on Wednesday paved the way for opening the state's second school of veterinary medicine.
Board members gave degree approval to Texas Tech University's proposal, putting it one step closer to opening a vet school in Amarillo.
"This initiative grew out of our desire to serve the needs of the state to address a worsening veterinarian workforce shortage, particularly in rural areas," Texas Tech President Lawrence Schovanec said. "And also to provide opportunity to students who seek a career in veterinary medicine and increasingly find they have to leave the state to receive that education."
The school still has to receive accreditation from the American Veterinary Medical Association before it opens its doors in fall 2021, but Texas Tech already broke ground on facilities in September, and Wednesday's approval by the board means things are progressing smoothly, Schovanec said.
"To get degree program approval from the coordinating board is clearly one of the most critical benchmarks we had to achieve," he told the American-Statesman.
For nearly 100 years, Texas A&M University has sought to remain Texas' sole provider of doctors of veterinary medicine degrees. But in May, the Legislature approved $17 million for Texas Tech to begin the process of forming a second program in Amarillo. Tech leaders argue A&M alone cannot produce enough veterinarians to meet the state's needs. As of 2017, Texas A&M's veterinarian class size is about 140 students. According to Tech leaders, its first veterinary class will be about 40 students. By 2026, Tech plans to have about 240 students being taught by 65 to 70 faculty members.
Tech says adding another veterinary school will help provide animal care in parts of the state that desperately need it. Some counties, especially those in West Texas and the Panhandle, have very few to no veterinarians, according to the Texas Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners.
Guy Loneragan, a Texas Tech professor of food safety and public health, told board members Wednesday the shortage of veterinarians in Texas is likely to get worse in the coming years. Across Texas, a quarter of licensed veterinarians are over 60. In the counties with fewer than 50,000 people, it's more than 40%, Loneragan said.

The $17 million in state funding approved in the spring was championed by a cohort of Lubbock- and Amarillo-area lawmakers, including Sen. Charles Perry, R-Lubbock.

"The Legislature has always recognized the value of robust and competitive university systems to meet the needs of a growing state that has an integral role in the success of our nation and global economy," Perry said in a joint statement with lawmakers in May. "The Texas Tech University School of Veterinary Medicine (TTUSOVM) will help address the shortage of large and mixed animal veterinarians in rural parts of the state."
Having Amarillo as the school's location is key, Schovanec said.
"What makes Amarillo the ideal location is that it's in the epicenter of a growing dairy industry and it's always been the most important area in the state as it relates to feedlots," he said.
The city of Amarillo has been supportive of Texas Tech's vision, and it recently donated about $60 million for construction of the teaching center. The school expects to rely on additional money from the state for the next several years. Schovanec said Texas Tech will request about $43 million from the Legislature over the next three sessions, after which the program will run solely on tuition revenue and the standard state formula funding every college receives.
"We think that's a very responsible and reasonable request to establish the new school of veterinary medicine," Schovanec said.

Austin American Statesman View: Vet school now one step closer to becoming reality

Quote:

---

Quote:
Texas Tech University and Amarillo cleared another important, mandatory, hurdle this past week as the school moved one step closer to seeing the hard-fought dream of a veterinary school in West Texas come to life.
Last Wednesday, the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board approved Tech's Doctor of Veterinary degree proposal. The decision was not unexpected as Tech officials have made a compelling case that the state needs a second school of veterinary medicine, but as people in these parts know, nothing is really certain until it is certain.
The process is not yet complete. Tech still must receive accreditation from the American Veterinary Medical Association before it can officially roll out the welcome mat for its first class of students in the fall of 2021.
Things are proceeding apace, though. Officials held a groundbreaking ceremony in Amarillo in September, and the importance of Wednesday's approval cannot be underestimated. The coordinating board basically wields veto power over degree programs at the state's four-year universities.
"To get degree program approval from the coordinating board is clearly one of the most critical benchmarks we had to achieve," Texas Tech President Lawrence Schovanec said in our story.
While there might have been plenty of drama around Tech's desire to bring a second Texas vet school online at one time, it disappeared, at least from public view, once the Texas Legislature included the item in the state budget that was approved this past spring. Thanks to the yeoman work of the West Texas delegation in building consensus for and awareness of the need, lawmakers approved $17 million for Tech to begin the process of launching its own vet school.
"The Legislature has always recognized the value of robust and competitive university systems to meet the needs of a growing state that has an integral role in the success of our nation and global economy," State Sen. Charles Perry (R-Lubbock) said in a joint statement with lawmakers last May that was included in our story. "The Texas Tech University School of Veterinary Medicine (TTUSOVM) will help address the shortage of large and mixed animal veterinarians in rural parts of the state."
President Schovanec indicated Tech officials will likely request more than $40 million to further sustain the vet school over the next three sessions. After that, the program will run on tuition revenue and the standard state formula funding every college receives, he said.

Meanwhile, Tech officials have sung the same verses from the same hymnal all along the way, framing the vet school as a long overdue necessity to address a pronounced shortage of Texas veterinarians, most apparent in rural areas. It also will expand access for students seeking a veterinary medicine career at a time when many have had to leave Texas in pursuit of their educational dreams.

In other words, the initiative perfectly aligns with Tech's vision to serve all of West Texas.
By the same token, Tech has never seen its plan as a threat to or encroachment upon the excellent program at Texas A&M, which has had the state's veterinary medicine degree market cornered for the past 100 years. The cause was never to knock A&M; instead, it was an opportunity to keep up with a growing demand.
University leaders relied upon black and white statistics to tell the story. The state's population has swelled steadily, and there is a dearth of veterinarians across West Texas in general and providers specializing in large animals in particular. Numbers indicate there are only 180 large-animal veterinarians serving rural Texas counties that's 3 percent of the state's registered veterinarians.
According to statistics from the Texas Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners, a number of counties across West Texas and the Panhandle have few to no veterinarians. The shortage, critical now, is projected to grow worse in the years ahead as 25 percent of licensed vets are over age 60. In counties with fewer than 50,000 people, the number increases to 40 percent.
The long-term vision for Tech's school is to usher in 40 students the first year and steadily increase population to 240 students being taught by as many as 70 faculty members by 2026.
The vet school has been on the Tech radar for more than a decade, and it is no secret how strongly the people of Amarillo have supported the initiative all along the way, recently contributing $60 million toward the construction of a teaching center.

As President Schovanec pointed out, placing it in the heart of cattle country makes sense on every level.
"What makes Amarillo the ideal location is that it's in the epicenter of a growing dairy industry, and it's always been the most important area in the state as it relates to feedlots," he said in our story.
The Texas Tech School of Veterinary Medicine is one of the region's greatest success stories. It has been marked by cooperation, perseverance and inspiration, and one that, beginning in the not to distant future, will transform West Texas by transforming lives, one life at a time.

Why would you want to be a vet anyways? Lots of student debt, then most graduates end up working for a small pet office. Pet owner comes in with a sick fido, its too expensive to do surgery , then the 'vet' ends up being a glorified euthanasia tech. It's not surprising the suicide rate is so high in that profession.

The Texas Tech veterinary school could receive a provisional accreditation after the site visit next summer and then could receive full accreditation after they graduate their first class.

Quote:
The Texas Tech Board of Regents earlier this month approved early construction work for the School of Veterinary Medicine in Amarillo.
Regents made the votes for the vet school at a meeting earlier this month.
After a brief presentation, regents approved spending $15 million for beginning construction on the Amarillo project expected to cost a total of $90 million.
According to Tech, the $15 million approved this month is for earthwork, underground utilities for fire protection, electrical and plumbing, elevators and limited concrete.
"We're to the point in our design and our pricing that we've got this scope of services already priced," Billy Breedlove, vice chancellor for facilities planning and construction, told the board. "If we approve this today then this'll allow us to mobilize immediately and get a shovel in the ground by the end of the month, or right at the first of the year."
The academic building will take shape on the north side of the existing TTUHSC campus in Amarillo. Plans call for the school to open for the fall 2021 semester with anticipated enrollment of 60 students.

LUBBOCK, Texas (KVII) During a special meeting on Wednesday, the Texas Tech University System Board of Regents approved $90 million for the Texas Tech School of Veterinary Medicine.
The approved project budget is an increase of more than $69 million from a budget approved in December, according to FOX34 in Lubbock.
The revised budget helps fund the compensation of the more than 185,000-square-foot facility in Amarillo. The facility will accommodate 400 students with break-out rooms, office suites and student lockers.
TTU officials broke ground on the facility in September.

The Amarillo campus will join Texas A&M University as the only other vet school in the state when it's scheduled to open its doors in the fall of 2021.

Texas A&M System Partnership Announces Update To Veterinary Program In Texas Panhandle

Additional funding will support the increased faculty needed for VERO's 2+2 program and will help large animal needs in rural communities

Quote:

Quote:
Officials from The Texas A&M University System (TAMUS) announced on Jan. 28 a $5 million commitment to the developing 2+2 veterinary program through the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences' (CVM) Veterinary Education, Research & Outreach (VERO) program on West Texas A&M University's (WT) campus.
The additional funding from TAMUS will be used to increase faculty members from 5 to 23 for the VERO program. Current faculty members were secured with the support of a Legislative Appropriations Request by the Texas Education Agency.
The VERO 2+2 program is a continuation of initiatives led by the TAMUS to support the state agriculture industry and the young people of Texas. In 2019, the System committed $90 million to the establishment of a 22,000-square-foot VERO facility to house the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) curriculum and externship programs for the new clinical rotations in the Texas Panhandle, as well as the 2+2 program. The 2+2 program will allow Texas A&M veterinary students to elect to spend their first two years in Canyon on WT's campus for increased exposure to large animal needs in rural communities.
"Texas A&M's 100-year-old veterinary program is an established, accredited route for students seeking their D.V.M degree," Walter V. Wendler, president of WT, said. "Paired with WT's prime location for the cattle industry with ample opportunities to work with large animals through extern- and internships is a recipe for a prosperous veterinary services industry in Texas. We are thrilled with the seamless collaboration between these two campuses and eager to be a part of educating Texas A&M veterinary students on WT's campus."
Dr. Karen Cornell, associate dean for Professional Programs, visited West Texas A&M for Chancellor Sharp's announcement.
The first cohort of fourth-year veterinary students will begin clinical rotations at the Agricultural Sciences Complex on WT's campus starting summer 2020. The first cohort of up to 18 first-year veterinary students will begin their DVM education at the VERO in fall 2021.
Every year after, there will be two cohorts at one time cycling through the Canyon location before their third year at the CVM in College Station, with the option of returning to Canyon a portion of their fourth-year clinical rotations.
"Through our VERO program, Texas A&M, the CVM, and WT are prioritizing the need for rural and food animal veterinarians, needs that affect citizens of the Texas Panhandle and citizens in rural communities across the state," said Dr. Eleanor M. Green, the Carl B. King Dean of Veterinary Medicine at Texas A&M.
"Our VERO educational team, led by Dr. Dan Posey, is working to meet these needs by helping West Texas A&M gather and mentor regional students, to help them produce the best veterinary school application possible. In just three and a half years, under Dr. Posey's leadership, the number of successful veterinary college applications from West Texas A&M has tripled," Green said. "The next step is to bring them back home to serve their hometowns in the Texas Panhandle region, and the 2+2 program will be a key part of this critical next step."
Combining the power of the two campuses' resources will expose students to unique, diverse learning opportunities in a large state with some underserved regions. Faculty of the VERO program encourage incoming students to engage locally and consider working in communities that have a greater need for a large animal veterinarian.
"We are pleased to expand our veterinary medicine and biomedical sciences program to the campus of West Texas A&M University," Texas A&M President Michael K. Young said.
"The increased funding will provide support and be of great benefit to all Texans. The 2+2 program will especially benefit large-animal care needs that are often isolated and will enhance the educational and medical care opportunities for rural Texans."

In a surprise move President Young has mobilized all small and medium sized animals to converge on west Texas to put down the large animal uprising.

Quote:
The faculty of Texas Tech University's School of Veterinary Medicine in Amarillo continues to take shape as renowned horse expert and veterinarian Britt Conklin has been hired as the new Associate Dean for Clinical Programs.
Conklin, who earned his undergraduate degree in 1997 from the College of Agricultural Sciences & Natural Resources (CASNR), has served as the senior equine professional services veterinarian for Boehringer-Ingelheim Animal Health since 2012. He also established a breakthrough veterinary practice in Weatherford after graduating from veterinary school.
"Being raised here in the Texas Panhandle, in production agriculture, has shaped the character and veterinarian I have become," Conklin said. "I am thrilled to be part of this exciting program and, as part of the Texas Tech family, I look forward to fostering those fundamental values we hold dear in the students who pass through this program."


Thanks to the generosity of Amarillo and communities across Texas, and the commitment of legislators from around the state, the Texas Tech University School of Veterinary Medicine, established in 2018, is working to enroll its first class in the fall of 2021, pending approval by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) Council on Education (COE).
The School of Veterinary Medicine will recruit and select students with a passion to practice and succeed in small, agricultural and regional communities and utilize a curriculum focused on the competencies and skills necessary to be successful in practices that support these communities. Texas Tech's innovative and cost-efficient model partners with the wider community of veterinary practices across the state to provide clinical, real-world experiential learning.
In June, Gov. Greg Abbott signed into law the biennial state budget, which appropriated $17.35 million for the School of Veterinary Medicine in Amarillo that will go toward operational needs in order to get the school up and running. The appropriation included language directing Texas Tech to move forward in establishing the school.
Donors and civic leaders have pledged more than $90 million toward infrastructure, construction and scholarships for the School of Veterinary Medicine on the site of Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center in Amarillo.
