title: Psychological services for US and international veterinary students.
abstract: Given the importance of psychological services for veterinary students, a survey was administered to all US veterinary schools and many international ones, asking them to report on the amount and type of psychological support services they offer to students, faculty, and staff. This article reports on the results of this survey and presents suggestions for increasing the accessibility of counseling services. One objective of the current study was to initiate an avenue for ongoing communication between individuals involved in student counseling within each school. A list of individuals currently working in the field and their contact information is provided in Appendix 2.
