DVM/PhD - Veterinary Medical Scholars Program (VMSP)
The growing need for veterinary scientists is a critical national priority.
If you have a strong interest in science and are considering a career in veterinary research, you should investigate the Veterinary Medical Scholars Program at Illinois.
The goal of the VMSP is to turn exceptional students with a strong research interest into competitive veterinary scientists. The joint program achieves a level of integration and scholarship that is not easily obtained through consecutive degree paths. Veterinary students with a strong aptitude and motivation for research and graduate education can avail themselves of these opportunities as they pursue the professional degree.
Pre-veterinary students wishing to be considered for admission into the VMSP must demonstrate exceptional promise and clear potential for success in both components of the joint program.
If you wish to learn more about the VMSP, contact Dr. Edwin Hahn, Associate Dean for Research and Advanced Studies. To facilitate discussion about the program, please send a resume and a brief statement of interest to vmsp@vetmed.illinois.edu.
