This fourth article in an ongoing series of articles published in the Journal of Veterinary Medical Education on veterinary education and the veterinary profession provides information on the colleges and schools that exist in the US in 2011. This article provides a brief description of the educational programs and recent accreditation of the veterinary schools at Western University of the Health Sciences and Ross University on the Island of St. Kitts. Without taking into consideration Caribbean colleges, the number of veterinary student positions in US colleges has increased by approximately 24% in the past decade. The number of students attending veterinary colleges is unevenly distributed across the country with many of the more populous states having fewer students per 100,000 people than less populous states. The percentage of veterinarians who reside in the state of their alma mater also varies widely with alumni from some colleges remaining in the state of the college from which they graduated (e.g., Texas A&M and the University of California at Davis) and the graduates of other colleges (e.g., Cornell University and the University of Pennsylvania) being more widely distributed across the country. The location of veterinarians is also provided by state and adjusted for population and state size.
发表于《兽医医学教育杂志》上关于兽医教育和兽医职业的系列文章中的第四篇，提供了2011年美国现有学院和学校的相关信息。本文简要介绍了健康科学西部大学和圣基茨岛罗斯大学兽医学院的教育项目及近期的认证情况。不考虑加勒比地区的学院，在过去十年中，美国学院的兽医学生名额增加了约24%。就读兽医学院的学生在全国分布不均，许多人口较多的州每10万人中的学生人数比人口较少的州少。毕业于某所学院的兽医留在该学院所在州的比例也差异很大，一些学院的校友留在他们毕业的学院所在州（如德克萨斯A&M大学和加利福尼亚大学戴维斯分校），而其他学院（如康奈尔大学和宾夕法尼亚大学）的毕业生则更广泛地分布在全国各地。兽医的所在地也按州提供，并根据人口和州面积进行了调整。
