b'This week we discuss a little known, but rapidly expanding, veterinary medical school program called \\u201c2+2.\\u201d Host veterinarian Dr. Ernie Ward and registered veterinary technician Beckie Mossor try to make sense of the pro\\u2019s and con\\u2019s of a program that allows veterinary medical school; students who live in a state without a veterinary school to complete their first two years of veterinary school on their home college campus. Confused? We help untangle the taxpayer contributions, who gets to pay in-state tuition, student obligations, and what impact these sorts of programs may ultimately have on the veterinary profession. There are no easy answers, and our hosts quickly discover that \\u201c2+2\\u201d may not add up to everything they expected. \\n\\nThanks Viewfinders for your continued support!
