UGA-IPRIC DVM/PHD TRAINING AND CAREER DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

The Training Program at the University of Georgia (UGA), College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM), will introduce academically talented veterinary professionals to cutting edge research with mentors capable of inspiring them toward careers in biomedical research. Veterinarians are ideally trained to recognize animal models of emerging and zoonotic disease, and are needed in the disciplines of public health and food safety. This Training Program is designed to capture the interest of veterinarians at a formative time in their careers and help them develop into independent investigators capable of addressing the burgeoning medical problems associated with influenza virus.

COMBINED VETERINARY CLINICAL MICROBIOLOGY RESIDENCY AND PHD TRAINING

The goal of the combined veterinary clinical microbiology residency and PhD program is to provide post-DVM training leading to a PhD degree and eligibility for verification with the American College of Veterinary Microbiologists. The program will emphasize an interdisciplinary approach to research and diagnosis of infectious diseases. Funding will be provided for five years, at the end of which, candidates should have fulfilled the requirements for the PhD degree in infectious diseases and met the eligibility requirements for taking the ACVM examination. Upon successful completion of the program, candidates should have acquired the knowledge and skills necessary to: a) conduct independent research in infectious diseases; b) supervise a veterinary diagnostic laboratory; c) serve as a faculty member in a college of veterinary medicine. If you are interested or know of someone interested in applying, please contact Dr. Dave Peterson, Graduate Coordinator at dspete@uga.edu.

VETERINARY MEDICAL SCIENTIST TRAINING PROGRAM

The College of Veterinary Medicine has developed its Veterinary Medical Scientist Training Program (VMSTP) to enhance the career development of scholars who wish to pursue both the DVM and PhD degrees. The philosophy of this program is "One Medicine," where veterinary medicine interacts with human medicine, and both interdigitate with basic research to contribute to the advancement of biomedical research. Graduates of the VMSTP will be well-positioned to have productive careers as biomedical researchers in academia and industry. More information here.
