Program Performance

Abstract: This paper describes a program which seeks to proactively encourage veterinary students to enter a career path in food animal (cattle) medicine by providing them with opportunity (experience), means (scholarship funding), and mentoring.  It has so far succeeded in attracting students with no prior food animal experience, and appears to be a useful model for increasing both the preparation of veterinary students and the number of students choosing food animal medicine.

Please Note: For summer 2008, due to the high demand for and limited
availability of EVSBEP scholarships, we are unable to offer additional
EVSBEP scholarships to incoming freshman veterinary students. The program
is planning to reopen the application process in 2009.
