Purdue College of Veterinary Medicine’s Dr. Bret Marsh on building innovators of the future + their insurmountable opportunities","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":1357,"description":"The USDA just reported that there are 243 veterinary shortage areas across 46 states nationwide – the highest number ever. It’s a challenging environment, particularly when you consider veterinarians are on the front lines of battling avian influenza and dealing with a massively growing companion animal population. Dr. Bret Marsh, Dean of the Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine, joins this week to help understand the evolution that’s happening in this space and how this gap is being tackled. We get into:  \n\nWhat he’s hearing from veterinarians in the field and those he works alongside on research \nHow his past experience as Indiana’s State Veterinarian and now the Dean at Purdue’s College of Veterinary Medicine has shaped a unique perspective on where this segment of the agbioscience industry needs to evolve \nBalancing the need for veterinarians in the field with a deep need to continue innovation at Purdue University – and the need for veterinarians to do that, too \nThe latest updates of what’s happening at the Purdue Veterinary Teaching Hospital \nAreas that have Bret most intrigued right now – from avian influenza vaccines to OneHealth \nHis optimism for the incoming class of veterinary students at Purdue and their insurmountable opportunities \nThe top challenges that will need to be overcome in the industry in the coming years \nWhat’s on the horizon for Purdue’s College of Veterinary Science ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/fNR6XzpB2Kp8cz0_UeZ53to0jw3tZsavgDDSar67UYQ/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8yZWEy/YjI3YzlhYWEzMzdm/NWU0NDIxYmEyMGI2/MmZjZC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
