Veterinary medicine doesn’t just have an important role in addressing the world’s most pressing health issues — we are a vital part of the solution. Our vision for global health has always been strong. Now, with the launch of the CVM’s new global health program, it’s even stronger. The program will make a strategic impact on areas such as food security and disease, address increasingly complex One Health issues and fight against the biggest threats of our day.

“Here at the College of Veterinary Medicine, we believe global health is a collaborative, multinational effort to promote health for all. Within the context of our new Global Health program, this means our research and educational programs must take us across borders, where we will interact with other cultures, work in different environments and engage with new, global partners.” – Dean Lunn
