The three-year award, made on August 1, 2022 and running through July 31, 2025, will support Northeast Community College's efforts to relieve veterinarian shortage situations and expand veterinary services in the region through training future veterinary technicians specialized in large animal care. Consistent with the VSGP's goal of addressing veterinarian shortage areas, the college will use the funding to develop its educational programming and prepare more technicians well-versed in large animal medicine to meet local agricultural industry needs.
