CVM Comparative Medicine and Pathology training program offers incomparable research experience

The Comparative Medicine and Pathology (CMP) T32 training program at the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine  (CVM) is currently seeking applicants for 2025.

Established in 2003 in response to a shortage of academic veterinarians conducting independent biomedical research, the program is funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and offers state-of-the-art research training to equip veterinarians for careers in translational research. 

The CMP T32 is open to anyone with a DVM degree interested in receiving advanced research training. Participants come from many different backgrounds and stages of their careers, including people who have just completed their DVM and are interested in launching a research career; people who have DVMs as well as other advanced degrees and are looking for additional intensive research training; and people who have spent years in clinical practice and are interested in shifting their focus to research.

The program has a track record of developing successful researchers who go on to pursue a range of opportunities. Read the full story to hear from program directors and alums, and to learn how to apply.
