MPVM and MPH Talk: Paulina Zielinska DVM, MPVM, MPH
Veterinary Public Health Organization and Students for One Health present Dr. Zielinska for a talk about her experience as a DVM with both a Masters in Preventative Veterinary Medicine and Masters in Public Health in the areas of global health and One Health. As a veterinarian with both degrees she offers a unique insight into the benefits of both programs and how she has been able to incorporate them into her career. As veterinarians are asked to be more and more at the forefront of emerging public health issues in both the domestic and international sectors, it benefits all areas of veterinary medicine to find additional forms of education in this area.
