Straight from VMX 2025: A Panel on Gaps in Education

Veterinary education is expanding with new schools and programs, but are they really preparing students for the demands of the current market? As client expectations grow, the economic landscape shifts, and innovative tools become available every day, tomorrow’s professionals will need more than clinical training to succeed. This panel brings together experts from academia, business, and students to explore the potential gaps in today’s veterinary education. We’ll focus on skills that are increasingly critical yet often underrepresented in the curriculum, such as business acumen, AI proficiency, understanding and responsible use of emerging technologies, digital ethics, client service, and more. Join us as we unpack the trends shaping the future of veterinary medicine and share fresh approaches to training the next generation of veterinary professionals. Let’s talk about what’s missing – and how we can bridge the gap.
