What is Spectrum of Care?
Veterinarians work to promote animal health and welfare by making safe, effective, and affordable veterinary care accessible to as many animal owners as possible. Spectrum of care aims to address the growing problem of affordability of veterinary care by providing a continuum of acceptable care that considers available evidence-based medicine while remaining responsive to client expectations and financial limitations, thereby successfully serving an economically diverse clientele. Ideally, veterinarians should be able to provide several evidence-based options for care that encompass a wide variety of diagnostic and treatment approaches for patients and their owners. Spectrum of care concepts are now incorporated into The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine curriculum from day one. Read our peer reviewed editorial in JAVMA to learn how.
