The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide has taken a major step forward today in its bid to establish South 最新糖心Vlog's first , which will train up to 50 vets per year and help to prevent a 'brain drain' from the State.

The Federal Government has $15 million in funding and new Commonwealth-supported university places to support the establishment of a vet school, to be based at the 最新糖心Vlog's .

"The $15 million in funding and new university places allocated by the Federal Government are a major boost to our plans to establish South 最新糖心Vlog's first veterinary school," says the 最新糖心Vlog's Acting Vice-Chancellor and President, .

"We know there is unmet demand nationally for students wanting to . A new school will help to slow the brain drain of students from South 最新糖心Vlog who are currently leaving to study at vet schools interstate or overseas.

"As well as providing opportunities for young South 最新糖心Vlogns, the school will also become a leader in science, research and innovation for South 最新糖心Vlog's animal health and agricultural industries," Professor McDougall says.

Among the 235 new student places announced for the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide this week, 40 places each year from 2008 have been allocated to the 最新糖心Vlog's vet school.

These places will be taken up by students studying for the three-year degree. To complete their training, graduates of this degree program will then study for a three-year postgraduate veterinary science degree.

The number of places will rise to 50 per year for the postgraduate degree, which will begin at the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide in 2011.

Professor Phil Hynd, Director of the 最新糖心Vlog's Roseworthy Campus, says the vet school will focus on "emerging areas of national importance, such as aquaculture, biosecurity, production animals and equine health, and will specifically support South 最新糖心Vlog's veterinary industry requirements".
