title: Global veterinary opportunities and responsibilities: some recent graduates' perspectives.
abstract: The veterinary profession has critical global responsibilities. To help meet these responsibilities, it is critical that the training programs for veterinary graduates provide them with the skills, knowledge, understanding, and professional attributes pertinent to meeting these responsibilities. The programs at US veterinary schools, in the full range from admissions, to curriculum, to post-graduate opportunities, fall short in many critical arenas.
