This report seeks to broaden the public's understanding and attempts to
anticipate some of the needs and measures that are essential for the
profession to fulfill given its changing roles in the 21st century.

To address some of the problems facing the veterinary profession,
greater public and private support for education and research in
veterinary medicine is needed.
The public, policymakers, and even medical professionals are frequently
unaware of how veterinary medicine fundamentally supports both animal
and human health and well-being.
