Veterinary medicine contributes $13 billion annually in direct and supporting services to Ohio\u2019s economy, according to a recent economic study<\/a>. The findings are from a 2017 analysis by Regionomics, LLC, which researched veterinary medicine\u2019s impact in economic activity and employment contributions to the Buckeye State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The study<\/span>, a collaborative effort between the Ohio Veterinary Medical Association (OVMA) and The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM), found that veterinary services in Ohio contribute $2.4 billion in direct economic output while sustaining more than 23,000 jobs. Support of animal-related industries, including agricultural production, reflects an additional $10.6 billion in annual economic activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\u201cVeterinary medicine supports Ohio\u2019s economy and communities in a variety of substantive ways, including agriculture, research and human health,\u201d said Dr. Rustin Moore, dean of OSU CVM and OVMA member. \u201cAs the only college of veterinary medicine in Ohio, we are proud of the role we play in direct economic activity, supporting the efforts of veterinary practitioners, and advancing the economic health of all animal care-related industries in Ohio.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Veterinarians work in a variety of disciplines impacting economic growth and job creation beyond caring for companion animals. Areas not often considered as part of the veterinary field include food animal production, zoos, racetracks, health research, education and animal nutrition. The economic study not only reaffirmed the importance of veterinary medicine\u2019s role in supporting the economic activity of these industries, but it also explored issues of veterinary geographic distribution, veterinary student loan debt and the contributions of the human-animal bond in mitigating human healthcare costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cVeterinary medicine not only keeps Ohio\u2019s pet and farm animals healthy, but it also plays an important role in Ohio\u2019s economic health,\u201d OVMA President Dr. Tod Beckett explained. \u201cWe are proud of the meaningful contributions we make and see greater opportunities to serve and contribute in the years ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
