The program is multidisciplinary by nature and has the mission to equip future leaders (veterinarians and non-veterinarians) with the knowledge and skills to protect and promote the welfare and health of animals in populations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cProgram graduates will be prepared to respond to health and welfare issues in animal populations through research, education, clinical medicine, extension and outreach,\u201d said Dr. Daniel Linhares, assistant professor of veterinary diagnostic and production animal medicine. \u201cThe new program will train generations of high degree professionals capable of keeping Iowa\u2019s $18 billion animal agriculture industry sustainable and strong over time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\t\u201cThis program will generate science and professionals to help secure and improve the health and welfare of livestock and poultry industries in Iowa and around the globe,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>\tThe Iowa State degree will be one of only five similar Ph.D. programs offered in North America. The 20-hour degree will feature courses on applied statistical methods, epidemiology and population health, population research, animal welfare, ecology of infectious disease, and applied diagnostic technologies.<\/p>\n<p>\tLinhares expects to enroll the first students into the program beginning in the fall of 2019. It is anticipated that within seven years, the program will have a cumulative enrollment of close to 30-60 students.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- <div>From <a href='https:\/\/vetmed.iastate.edu\/article\/population-sciences-animal-health-phd-approved'>https:\/\/vetmed.iastate.edu\/article\/population-sciences-animal-health-phd-approved<\/a><\/div> -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-6546","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"site_sections":["VDPAM","VETMED"]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
