Here's some interesting tidbits...
There are currently 154 medical schools in the US, plus 30 osteopathic schools in the US.
There are 32 veterinary schools in the US.
There are about 985,000 physicians for 330 million people in the US.
There are about 124,000 veterinarians for 145 million dogs, cats, birds, horses as pets.
So there's about 1 doctor for every 300 people in the US, while there's about 1 veterinarian for every 1150 cats, dogs, birds and pet horses. That doesn't include ag animals like cattle, pigs, chickens, etc... commercial operations all need vet work.
