Dr. Sara Epp presents Alliance-funded research findings on Northern Ontario veterinary shortage

In 2020, Epp received Alliance funding for a multi-year study of the veterinarian shortage in Northern Ontario. On Feb. 12, she presented her findings in Sudbury during the 2024 Northern Ontario Conference, taking place over two days at Science North.

Epp collected data through surveys and interviews with a number of stakeholders, but her presentation focused on insight from three main groups: veterinarians, producers, and students.

“One comment we kept hearing is that we need solutions that are northern-specific,” said Epp, noting that a “one-size-fits-all” approach isn't helpful.
