VETERINARY STUDENT RESEARCH TRAINING PROGRAM

描述(由申请者提供)：本专业学生短期研究培训申请的目的是为已完成一年级或二年级的兽医学生提供探索比较医学研究作为潜在职业的机会。学生将在暑假期间在高质量的实验室环境中进行为期12周的假设驱动的发现和解决问题的研究。只有密歇根州立大学兽医学院(CVM)最好的研究人员/导师才被纳入拟议的研究-培训计划。参与研究的教师被分成五个研究领域：1)毒理学，2)食品安全和新出现的传染病，3)比较分子遗传学，4)神经科学，5)非传染性肺部疾病的机制。此外，还设计了迎新、每周系列研讨会和实地考察，以扩大研究经验，并为学生提供对当前研究问题的了解。该计划旨在成功地从其他美国兽医学院招收兽医学生，并确保少数族裔学生有机会获得这种研究经验。所有参与该项目的学生都需要在一年一度的CVM Phi Zeta研究日上展示他们的研究成果。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of this Professional Student Short-Term Research Training Application is to provide veterinary students who have completed their first or second year with the opportunity to explore research in comparative medicine as a potential career. Students will be engaged in hypothesis-driven discovery and problem-solving research in a high-quality laboratory setting for 12 weeks during the summer. Only the best researchers/mentors from the College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) at MSU have been included as trainees in the proposed research-training program. Participating faculty have been grouped into five areas of research excellence: 1) toxicology, 2) food safety and emerging infectious diseases, 3) comparative molecular genetics, 4) neuroscience, and 5) mechanisms of non-infectious pulmonary disease. In addition, an orientation, weekly seminar series, and field trips have been designed to broaden the research experience, as well as to provide students with an understanding of current research issues. The program is designed to successfully recruit veterinary students from other U.S. colleges of veterinary medicine and to ensure that minority students have access to this research experience. All students participating in the program are required to present their research results at the annual CVM Phi Zeta Research Day.
