“…The number of veterinarians is expected to continue to rise as more enter the profession than leave it. The number of graduates will be the main factor responsible and was an average of 220 in the 1980s, 250 in the 1990s, but had increased to 350 by 2005 2,12,13 . It is likely to exceed 500 within the next 4–5 years and, as more graduates emerge from the three new schools, to approach 600 over the subsequent 5 years 2,12–14 …”

“…Some, possibly 100, will be from overseas and most of them will return home. However, a conservative interpretation of current evidence indicates that by 2011 at least 400 graduates will be seeking work in Australia each year 12 . By then the number of veterinarians working in Australia will be 3‐fold, and the number of veterinarians per million people almost 2‐fold, that in 1981 12,15 …”

Objective: Obtain data on the current status of Australia's veterinary education.Design: Conduct oral history interviews with leaders of veterinary education.Result: Seventeen academics, from Australia's seven veterinary schools, participated in the research project. Born between the 1930's and 1960's, graduating in the 1950's to the 1980's, they constituted a mature and experienced cohort. Interview questions included assessment of the Frawley Review, the purpose and funding of veterinary education, different curricula, student selection, different degrees and the oversupply of veterinary graduates. Conclusion:The Frawley Review failed to prevent more veterinary schools being established in Australia, contributing to this country having more veterinary schools per capita than comparable western countries.

“…Society needs people who can address a wide range of interrelated health problems in many parts of the globe. Increasingly, animal health issues will need to be addressed within the interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary framework of ecosystems health or 'ecohealth' (35,36,56,74,78). Embracing this approach will be a challenge for a number of countries, but it is clear that to address threats to animal health -such as climate change -will require a fundamental shift in thinking.…”

“…Although there is quite a substantial scientific literature on the likely effects of climate change on human health, the literature on its likely effects on animal health and production is sparse (3). There is a rapidly growing literature on the future of animal health, including aquatic animal health and veterinary public health (26,27,28,32,34,37,40,47,78). This literature focuses particularly on 'one medicine' and 'ecohealth', but does not often discuss the likely effects of climate change on animal health and production, although this is not always the case (13,25).…”
