Turnarounds have consistently shown themselves to be ineffective —
truly an unscalable strategy for
improving urban districts — and our relentless preoccupation with
improving the worst schools actually inhibits the development of a healthy urban
public -
education industry.
Like our colleagues at the Association of Shelter Veterinarians, we
truly believe that the development of a formal recognized veterinary specialty in Shelter Medicine will provide
improved veterinary medical services to the profession and the
public — and will help optimize care for millions of animals through
education, research, and the pursuit of clinical excellence.
