Signature Programs
The college strategic plan has been developed around the concept
of "signature programs", areas central to veterinary medicine and
biomedical research wherein we plan to build the nation's number
one programs. College-wide signature programs include the
professional DVM program itself, the Veterinary Medical Teaching
Hospital, and the Biomedical Sciences undergraduate program. The
six fields identified by the faculty for signature program status -
fields identified as exceptionally productive programs - include:
infectious diseases and homeland security, genomics, toxicology and
environmental medicine, cardiovascular sciences, neurosciences, and
reproductive biology. Executive leadership in veterinary medicine
is yet another signature program being developed in the college.
