proposed<\/a> a student loan relief bill aimed at encouraging new veterinarians to practice in rural Wisconsin counties. If passed, state lawmakers said they hope the bill draws veterinarians to the state\u2019s rural farms.2 With many graduates facing piling debt after graduating, working in small, rural practice where the pay is typically less than in urban areas becomes less appealing, supporters of the bill said.2<\/p>\nIn the Texas Tech release, Guy Loneragan, BVSc, PhD, dean of the School of Veterinary Medicine, said the university\u2019s new residency program could have an impact beyond Texas. \u201cThis residency program is transformative for our school and the cattle industry,\u201d said Loneragan.1 \u201cA capstone professional achievement for the residents in this program is attainment of diplomate status in the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners. This is a national recognition as an elite specialist in all things cattle. The residents will provide leadership to advance livestock health and protect the national interest in US food production. The program led by Dr Koziol tremendously benefits the school, Texas Tech, our state and nation.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGraduates of the residency will serve as vital resources in their communities, bringing expertise in antimicrobial stewardship, disease control and One Health leadership,\u201d concluded Texas Tech.1 \u201cBy building a sustainable network of food animal veterinarians, Texas Tech\u2019s program seeks to retain professionals in the field and also safeguard the future of America\u2019s agricultural industries.\u201d<\/p>\n
