The veterinary medicine school at UW-Madison is conducting programs in local elementary, middle and high schools to expose students to animals and educate them on what a veterinarian’s job entails.
UW-Madison officials said they have seen a fluctuating pattern in enrollment in the food animal program. Since 1986, the average has fallen from 29 students to 19 students. Enrollment dipped down to a low of 15 during the 2001-02 school year, WISC-TV reported.
