An Ecological Analysis of the Geographic Distribution of Veterinarians in the United States

Richards, James M., Jr.

Journal of Vocational Behavior, 11, 2, 216-229, Oct 77

Then ecological characteristics of states and cities were related to the geographic distribution of veterinarians and physicians. Population size is the strongest correlate of the number of health professionals. Results for pet veterinarians resemble results for physicians. (Author)
