Research opportunities are
available to interested veterinary students. The K-State Veterinary
Research Scholars Program offers a summer mentored-research experience
to veterinary students. The program consists of research experience in
faculty laboratories, weekly journal clubs and workshops, and field
trips to industrial settings where veterinarians are engaged in
research-related activities. Veterinary students are selected on the
basis of their academic credentials and research motivation. More
information about the Veterinary Research Scholars Program is available
at
http://www.vet.ksu.edu/depts/ap/vet.scholar/index.htm. Other
veterinary colleges and institutes are also eager to attract K-State
students to their summer programs and research externships. You can
learn more about research training programs at other institutions by
visiting the national veterinary student research website:

Graduate study at the K-State College of Veterinary Medicine prepares
trainees to become veterinarian-scientists engaged in basic, applied or
clinical research in academic, government or industrial settings.
K-State CVM graduate programs include a Master in Veterinary Biomedical
Sciences, a Master of Public Health, and doctoral programs in Anatomy &
Physiology or Pathobiology. Veterinary students may earn dual degrees
using a number of different strategies. Stipend and tuition support is
available to dual degree students enrolled in the BRITE (Basic Research
Immersion Training Experience) program
http://www.vet.ksu.edu/depts/ap/brite/index.htm). Veterinary
students with questions about research career opportunities are
encouraged to make an appointment with Dr. Michael Kenney, Director of
Graduate Programs (785-532-4513).
