Fort Dodge Animal Health Legacy Scholarships Awarded
By Drovers news source (7/17/2009)
These students from PPVM received a stipend from the Pfizer Animal Health Bovine Externship (PAH-BE) for the summer 2009. The PAH-BE program is designed to expose first and second year veterinary students to bovine veterinary practice or dairy and beef production at farms, feedlots, and ranches for four weeks during the summer prior to their second or third year in veterinary school. This experience can help encourage students to think of a career in bovine practice, even if those veterinary students did not come from a rural/farm background.
