Ringkasan program

The goal of the Cornell Dual DVM/PhD Degree Program is to train students to become outstanding clinician-scientists. By integrating Cornell's veterinary and graduate curricula in a single Program, we prepare students to become leaders in science, medicine, and society, able to excel in basic research, cutting-edge medicine, and teaching. Our Program therefore opens numerous doors to prepare students for careers in academia, industry, and government service. This program enables students to bring a basic scientific approach to their veterinary training, allowing them to identify exciting research possibilities that affect animal and human health. Conversely, completion of veterinary training prior to the completion of graduate training allows students to bring their new expertise in animal health to the laboratory, where comparative approaches can spur scientific development, and where students can identify opportunities to translate their research into real-world applications. Group activities and special training sessions expose students to leaders in science and medicine, while simultaneously building a supportive network of student colleagues and faculty mentors. The structure of the DVM/PhD Program provides students the opportunity to complete their degree requirements in approximately 1.5 years less than would typically be required if they enrolled in the veterinary and graduate programs sequentially. Although the length of a student's program will vary with their choices and area of training, all students accepted into the program are guaranteed full support for both degrees for the total duration of their studies, contingent upon continuing successful completion of requirements in both the Veterinary College and Graduate School.
