SVM Graduate Student Research

Graduate student research training and mentoring is an essential component of the School of Veterinary Medicine. The School is the administrative home to four graduate groups; Integrative Pathobiology, Epidemiology, Immunology, and Preventative Veterinary Medicine. In addition, SVM faculty participate in a large number of graduate programs administered through the UCD Office of Graduate Studies, ranging from Pharmacology and Toxicology, Neurosciences, Molecular, Cellular and Integrative Physiology, to Bioengineering and Genetics. Faculty in the School serve as primary mentors to over 100 graduate students representing a full spectrum of basic and applied dissertation projects.   The Office of Research and Graduate Education administers programs that provide research experiences to students in the DVM curriculum including STAR and GSSP. These programs are designed to give veterinary students access to summer research experiences, and provide stable funding for dual degree students in the VSTP program.
