Discovering the future

The 2024 Veterinary Summer Scholars research program wrapped up with the Veterinary Scholars Symposium, held August 8–10 in Saint Paul, Minn. The program offers incoming, first-year, and second-year veterinary students the opportunity to participate in research projects related to biomedical, agricultural, and ecosystem health initiatives. 

Through this experiential learning, students gain an appreciation of biomedical and veterinary research careers and see firsthand how research contributes to advances in health care, one health, and veterinary practice. The University of Minnesota has a long history with the now 35-year-old Veterinary Scholars program, which has grown to include every U.S. veterinary college along with numerous international schools.
