For those of you that aren't familiar with the AAVMC outside of your veterinary college applications, the AAVMC has been working hard the past few years to understand the campus climate with regards to diversity at the veterinary colleges.
How did we get to the LGBT Student Climate Survey?
In the Spring of 2011 the AAVMC launched the AAVMC-AVMA DiVersity Matters Climate Survey. With an overall response rate of 48.1%, the survey was able to get a clearer picture of the LGBT community within the nation's veterinary colleges. These initial findings allowed the AAVMC to narrow in on the LGBT student experience with a focused LGBT Student Experience Survey in the Fall of 2012. The LGBT Student Experience Survey was an open answer survey, which is still being analyzed.
Impressions of the LGBT Student Climate Survey based on the webinar:
We are so thankful that the AAVMC has undertaken this task and is pushing to improve the student experience for future veterinarians across the country.
