Summary of Collection: In January
2003, the National Veterinary Medical
Service Act (NVMSA) was passed into
law adding section 1415A to the
National Agricultural Research,
Extension, and Teaching Policy Act of
1997. This law established a new
Veterinary Medicine Loan Repayment
Program (VMLRP) (7 U.S.C. 3151a)
authorizing the Secretary of Agriculture
to carry out a program of entering into
agreements with veterinarians under
which they agree to provide veterinary
services in veterinarian shortage
situations. The purpose of the program
is to assure an adequate supply of
trained food animal veterinarians in
shortage situations and provide USDA
with a pool of veterinary specialists to
assist in the control and eradication of
animal disease outbreaks. The National
Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA)
will designate geographic and practice
areas that have a shortage of food supply
veterinarians in order to carry out the
VMLRP goals of strengthening the
nation’s animal health infrastructure
and supplementing the Federal response
during animal health emergencies. NIFA
will carry out NVMSA by entering into

veterinary services in veterinarian

Agriculture to request from VMLRP
applicants’ information related to
eligibility, qualification, career interests,
and recommendations necessary to
evaluate their applications for
repayment of educational indebtedness
in return for agreeing to provide
veterinary services in veterinarian
shortage situations. The information
will also be used to determine an
applicant’s eligibility for participation
in the program. The information also
allows the VMLRP to assess program
processes and impact, make program
improvements based on process
feedback, and provide feedback to State
Animal Health Officials on veterinarian
shortage situations, which can aide
them during the nomination process.
