Maybe fund more seats at Purdue Vet School and offer admission preferences and lower tuition/forgivable loans to those who will commit to practice in Indiana for 5-10 years.
But this idea runs counter to the current anti-college, anti-spending bent of the Legislature and governor.
We should be doing everything possible to increase the #s of veterinarians in Indiana by encouraging Indiana students and making the path easier and more affordable. 40% of the students enrolled at Purdue are not from Indiana and will not likely remain in Indiana. We should be putting Indiana students first over students from other states. Also- how many veterinarians have been brought from other countries to practice in Indiana?
How about with human MDs there is more than one vet college in Indiana and get Purdue to open up more than 20% of the slotts to students from Indiana. Currently Purdue has a monopoly on vet education in Indiana and they prefer out-of-state students who pay higher tuition. This is an Indiana supported college and needs to open up to Indiana vet students. A neighbors daughter had to go to vet school in the Caribean because she could not get into Purdue – too many in state applicants and Purdue loves the out-of-state tuition.
That’s called reciprocity.
