Thirteen veterinary students at Oklahoma State University’s Center for Veterinary Health Sciences recently wrapped up a 12-week summer research training program at the veterinary center. Veterinary student Kristin Coleman from Liberty was one of the participating students.

These first- and second-year veterinary students conducted a mentored summer research project, which covered all aspects of a research project including experimental design, methodology, data collection and analysis, and drawing conclusions. Students also received instruction on a number of research-related topics and toured specialized research facilities in the region. At the end of the program, each student presented their research results at an annual College Research Day and eight of the 13 traveled to Raleigh, N.C., to present their research at the National Veterinary Scholars Symposium, which was attended by more than 400 veterinary students and veterinary scientists.

The Veterinary Research Scholars Program is designed to identify talented and highly motivated veterinary students interested in exploring a career in biomedical research.
