The Science of Veterinary Medicine

  • Ever wonder why there are so many basic science courses in the first year of the veterinary curriculum?
  • Have you wondered how biochemistry or microbiology research findings are used to provide tools for medicine?
  • Why do veterinarians pursue research when they could focus on practicing clinical medicine?

The answers to these questions and more will be revealed in the Science of Veterinary Medicine Translational Research Symposium on October 13, 2011.

The Emerging Fields symposia are an opportunity for veterinary students to participate in the discussion of research and its application towards solving real-world problems involving veterinary medicine. A keynote speaker introduces the topic then each session is lead by a clinician teamed with a researcher.

Following the lecture, the clinician presents a case study and partnered with the researcher poses a series of questions to be addressed by student discussion groups. The researcher adds a perspective on how basic research can be used to address questions raised by the case study. Experienced clinical and research faculty work with students in the discussion groups.
