VMSRTP
Veterinary Medical Scientist Research Training Program
To introduce veterinary students
to research to stimulate career interest and
enhance professional relationships between research scientists
and veterinarians.
The Veterinary Medical Student Research Training Program
(VMSRTP) provides stipends to first- and second-year veterinary
students for a summer research experience. Students are accepted
from Texas A&M University and from other colleges of veterinary
medicine.
Student fellows conduct full-time research during a 12-week
period in the summer, with the advice and direction of a Faculty
Mentor. Orientation to veterinary and biomedical research is
provided, through weekly lunch seminars. Field trips to other
research sites broaden and enrich the student's exposure to
veterinary research. The VMSRTP concludes with a Research
Conference and a closing Banquet. Student fellows are also strongly
encouraged to participate in the Merial-NIH Veterinary Scholars
Symposium with students from over 20 other colleges of veterinary
medicine.
The VMSRTP Program is funded by awards from the National
Institues of Health (NIH), the Merial Veterinary Scholars Program, the
Texas Veterinary Medical Foundation, and the
William & Doris Klemm Fellowship, and by the College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical
Sciences.
