2022 Research Accomplishments at UFCVM
This past year has been a significant one for scholarship at the college. In the calendar year, we produced or have been involved in several news stories highlighting traditional and clinical research, as well as national awards received by members of our faculty. Some of these stories have received coverage in the national news. We have shared our stories via news releases, podcasts, Florida Veterinarian magazine and the Veterinary Page newsletter as well as in direct-mail pieces aimed at influencers within the veterinary medical profession.
