DVMs Seeking PhD

In response to the national need to increase the number of well-trained veterinarian-scientists to meet societal needs in biomedical research and other important fields of public health, Cornell’s College of Veterinary Medicine has been an active leader in creating opportunities for all veterinarians interested in pursuing a PhD.

The College has connections across Cornell University, including with internationally-recognized research programs in the physical sciences, the life sciences, and engineering. Our own research programs provide opportunities for cutting-edge research in a broad spectrum of biomedical sciences with special strengths in cancer biology, medical genetics, infectious diseases, and reproductive studies.

The Veterinarian Research Training Oversight Committee oversees veterinarian-research training at the College to ensure quality and continuity in these programs.
