Committee on Research and Graduate Education
The Department of Clinical Sciences (DCS) faculty decided to organize the administrative structure of the department with three Associate Chairpersons. Rory J. Todhunter, Associate Chair for Research and Graduate Education formed the Department of Clinical Sciences Research Committee, presenting volunteers from the department and other college faculty and staff to facilitate clinical research in the department. The committee’s goals are:
- develop a cohesive and steadfast strategic plan to advance animal health and the profession;
- provide an infrastructure to support faculty efforts to conduct clinical investigations and research;
- foster the physical capacity required to fulfill the objectives of the strategic plan;
- promote clinical investigations within the Department of Clinical Sciences;
- promote communication to foster collaborations across departments, the University, and the world;
- identify clinical and research funding opportunities for successful submissions and awards;
- promote early stage veterinarians seeking career opportunities in clinical investigations and research;
- disseminate accomplishments and advances in animal health to the public domain.
