Summary:
"The Current and Future Market for Veterinarians and Veterinary Medical Services in the United States," hereafter termed the KPMG Report, discussed the major shift in gender distribution that has occurred in veterinary medicine. It noted that the number of women in our profession has increased dramatically, from 318 women in 1967 to 6, 080 in 1997. Although the KPMG Report suggested some factors that may have supported this demographic change, our understanding of the causes is at best limited and incomplete.
