Veterinary Research Manpower Development for Defense

Abstract

The long-term goal of this training program is to increase veterinary research manpower by providing research training to veterinary students. The proposed training program included joint degree programs (DVM/MPH, DVM/MS-CBS and DVM/MS-LAM) and the summer research program. Five trainees have graduated from TCSVM and are currently serving in US Army Veterinary Corps (1), enrolled in LAM residency program (2), conducting biomedical research (1) and in private practice (1). The 33 trainees currently in the joint degree program are continuing their training and the 17 trainees, recruited in the summer research program, have completed their research projects. No major problem was encountered with recruiting or maintaining trainee interests in the training program during the reporting period and hence we plan to continue the program as originally proposed.
