A new bill supported by the San Diego Humane Society aims to attract veterinarians to underserved California communities with an offer of student debt relief.
Amid a crisis-level shortage of veterinary care in California, the San Diego Humane Society is calling on the state legislature to help round up more veterinarians throughout the state.
The bill would offer up to $150,000 in student debt relief to licensed California veterinarians who agree to work for a California animal shelter or in underserved communities for at least five years.It aims to attract current veterinarians to practice in areas where demand is greatest by providing state and private funding to apply toward their school loans.
San Diego Humane Society officials say veterinary medicine has dealt with staffing problems for years, but the pandemic supercharged the problem. Its shelters have been hit equally hard. With nearly 1,000 animals currently in its care, the demand for medical resources is significant. But the organization’s vacant medical positions are hard to fill.
