Save the Date - April 12, 2012 - Keynote Speaker & Poster Presentations

Advances in Veterinary Medicine Day is designed to showcase the research and scholarship accomplishments of veterinary students, residents, graduate students and faculty in the college. It is a way for the college community to come together and learn about exciting research being carried out by colleagues. Travel grants are awarded to the best student poster presentations in efach of the five areas of study: immunology and infectious diseases, molecular and cellular biology, structure and function, clinical research, and epidemiology and applied research. The awards help students fund their travel to a national or international scientific meeting to present their research.

Awards Presentation and Keynote Address - April 12th at 12:00 pm

"Rebuilding the injured knee: The science behind the surgery"
