Dr. VanderWaal, an associate professor in the Department of Veterinary Population Medicine and a member of the Swine Group here at the University of Minnesota was Outstanding Graduate Advising/Teaching Award at this year’s College of Veterinary Medicine Education Day. Education Day celebrates not only the pursuit of knowledge in veterinary medicine but also those whose teaching contributions have a profound impact on the students they instruct.
The University of Minnesota’s strengths in infectious disease, immunology, comparative medicine, and zoonotic agents will prepare you for success at the intersection of animal, human and ecosystem health. Key scientific fields are facing shortages of new graduates, and an advanced degree rooted in comparative veterinary medicine will give you an advantage to address long standing health issues.
