This information helps our member institutions, applicants, students, the media, business, government and other organizations in veterinary medicine better understand issues and trends in academic veterinary medicine. Today, the ̽»¨ÏµÁÐannually produces a variety of data concerning faculty, staff, students, finances, academic programs, placement rates and other topics, much of which is made available to the public.
