Combined Degree Colloquium

… to the 2nd National Colloquium for Combined DVM/PhD Biomedical Scientists, hosted by the College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences at Texas A&M University. The brain child of many veterinary educators, this conference has its origins in national efforts to create a collegial exchange on best practices for training veterinary scientists. The Colloquium brings together all with a commitment to promote the career development of veterinary scientists: the students and trainees, veterinary academic faculty and administrators, and government and institutional scientists. We provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and opportunity for discussions on career development and for trainees to present scientific findings.

Registration is now closed, contact us directly if you need to register.
