University-based veterinary teaching hospitals must change to maintain their viability. A number of factors both internal and external to universities and the veterinary profession have contributed to the need for change. A task force formed by the Association of American Veterinary Medical Colleges and the American Association of Veterinary Clinicians was convened to identify the issues and propose individual and collective strategies for the future. Primary issues include a shortage of faculty and staff, the nature of the case load, the need for fiscal management strategies, and the need to manage stakeholder expectations. The majority of the proposed strategies for the future will be managed individually by the colleges. Proposed collective strategies center on increasing the number of specialists and improving recruitment and retention of faculty and staff.
以大学为基础的兽医教学医院必须做出改变以维持其生存能力。大学内部以及兽医行业内部和外部的诸多因素导致了变革的必要性。由美国兽医医学院协会和美国兽医临床医生协会组建的一个特别工作组召开会议，以确定问题所在，并为未来提出个人和集体策略。主要问题包括教职员工短缺、病例量的性质、财务管理策略的需求以及管理利益相关者期望的需求。未来提出的大多数策略将由各学院单独管理。提议的集体策略集中在增加专科医生数量以及改善教职员工的招聘和留用情况。
