Veterinarians practicing across primary and tertiary care must often provide multiple care plan options for clients, especially when faced with financial limitations. In recent years, recognition has grown around the additional personal and systemic challenges that impact clients’ access to veterinary services for their pets. Additionally, growing bodies of research demonstrate that spectrum of care approaches are necessary to provide care that is evidence- and experience-based as well as animal welfare-focused and family-centered. An opportunity for growth in our profession is collaboration among animal welfare organizations and veterinary providers to share client communication approaches, research, and care plan consultation in a variety of practice settings. Building off of last year’s panel discussion on Bridging the Gap Between Primary and Tertiary Care to Improve Veterinary Access , this session will explore the role of veterinary residents as instructors and practitioners who are well-positioned to connect veterinary students’ didactic training in spectrum of care with their clinical rotations. This session will also discuss benefits of preparing residents to enter practice equipped with the tools to provide spectrum of care to patients and clients.

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify barriers clients face in accessing veterinary care and barriers veterinary teams face in providing a spectrum of care approach in tertiary care.
  • Explore the role of veterinary residents in providing and teaching a spectrum of care approach to meet clients’ diverse needs and identify areas for resident training in practicing and teaching spectrum of care.
  • Identify the benefits to veterinary specialty practice of bridging the gap between primary and tertiary care through the lens of spectrum of care.
