This Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Veterinary Services Grant Program (CFDA 10.336) provides $244,491 to Midwestern University to address the shortage of food animal veterinarians serving Native American reservations. The program involves training veterinary students on rural food animal practice while exposing Native American youths on reservations to veterinary medicine career opportunities. Midwestern University will provide direct patient care and herd health/production medicine services on the Navajo Nation reservation for two weeks, three times per year over the award period from September 2023 to August 2026. The goal is to produce confident food animal veterinarians who will practice long-term in underserved areas, while also inspiring more Native American youth to pursue veterinary medicine careers.
