This federal Project Grant award of $249,319 from the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Veterinary Services Grant Program (CFDA 10.336) aims to enhance veterinary education and training in underserved rural communities. The four key objectives are to: 1) Provide additional educational opportunities for veterinary students to gain experience in population health, practice management, and communication; 2) Enhance training for residents in the Population Medicine Program; 3) Offer continuing education to rural veterinary practitioners in their first five years of practice on topics like epidemiology and systems thinking; and 4) Create opportunities for high school students to learn about veterinary careers in food animal medicine and the role of veterinarians in food safety and animal welfare. The award was granted to Mississippi State University, a prominent land-grant institution, to support these initiatives over a 3-year period from August 2024 to July 2027.
