The VET CARE Act establishes a new federal grant program to help high schools in areas facing veterinarian shortages create or expand work-based learning programs focused on veterinary medicine. Eligible organizations such as school districts, veterinary clinics, cooperative extension programs, 4-H and FFA organizations, and colleges can apply for competitive grants to develop curriculum that exposes students to veterinary careers in diagnostics, epidemiology, food safety, and animal husbandry. The bill prioritizes programs that provide hands-on experience with livestock, equine animals, and other large animals, and that help students transition to postsecondary education and careers in large-animal and food-animal veterinary medicine. Grant recipients must annually report data on student enrollment, graduation rates, attendance, and how many students go on to pursue veterinary-related education and careers. The legislation authorizes whatever funding Congress deems necessary to operate the program but does not specify an exact dollar amount or timeline.
