To ensure actions are put in place to address these priorities, representatives from each of the colleges created a regional think tank with a commitment to action and mutual collaboration.

Representatives, including the deans from Colorado State University, Oregon State University, Western University of Health Sciences, Washington State University and University of California at Davis, met in San Francisco this past October and created the consortium to pursue set objectives.

The inaugural meeting of the consortium was funded and facilitated by Pfizer Animal Health as part of the company’s Commitment to Veterinarians™ platform – which offers support through training and education, research and development, investing in the future of the veterinary profession and philanthropy.
