VMD-PhD Program

The VMD-PhD Program at Penn


Welcome to the VMD-PhD Program at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine. The goal of the VMD-PhD Program is to train outstanding veterinarian-scientists who will make groundbreaking contributions to their field by advancing science and medicine. The VMD-PhD Program has been in existence since 1969 and has gone through considerable expansion over the past decade. We have designed this site to provide information for prospective students, current students, faculty, and mentors. We hope you will find this information useful. If you require additional information, please contact us directly at vmstp@vet.upenn.edu.
