Requesting The University Of Hawaii System To Establish A Veterinary Medicine Expansion Working Group To Explore The Feasibility Of Developing A Doctor Of Veterinary Medicine Program At Windward Community College.
Impact
The proposed establishment of a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine program is envisioned as a crucial step to alleviate the veterinary workforce shortage in Hawaii. By leveraging Windward Community College's existing Veterinary Technology program, the initiative aims to attract local students into the veterinary field and maintain agricultural stability within the state. This could result in better veterinary services for both pets and livestock, thus benefiting local communities, agriculture, and biosecurity measures across the islands.
Summary
Senate Resolution 172 (SR172) requests the University of Hawaii System to establish a Veterinary Medicine Expansion Working Group aimed at exploring the feasibility of developing a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine program at Windward Community College. This initiative has arisen in response to a pressing shortage of veterinarians within the state, particularly affecting rural regions and services related to large animals and agriculture. The lack of a local veterinary program necessitates that aspiring veterinarians pursue their education elsewhere, leading to increased financial burdens and diminishing their chances of returning to practice in Hawaii after graduation.
Contention
While the resolution is geared towards addressing crucial veterinary needs in Hawaii, it may also spark discussions regarding the allocation of state resources, program partnerships, and the requirement of public-private collaborations. The feasibility study mandated by the working group is expected to evaluate various aspects, including potential partnerships with established mainland veterinary schools for clinical rotations, funding opportunities, and the necessary infrastructure for a successful veterinary program. Stakeholders involved in this initiative may have differing opinions on the potential efficacy and sustainability of such a program, especially regarding costs and impacts on local education priorities.
