POPULATION MEDICINE & VETERINARY PUBLIC HEALTH

Graduate work in the Population Medicine and Veterinary Public Health Concentration Area includes research in epidemiology of a variety of species, medical geography, assessment of management practices on food animal production systems, production medicine for food industries, developing and monitoring systems for health and productivity, computer based record keeping systems, and development of applied statistical and analytic methods. Graduate training in Population Medicine and Veterinary Public Health is also accomplished via didactic courses, journal clubs, and seminars that span the above areas of focus.
