The Master of Preventive Veterinary Medicine (M.P.V.M.) program will prepare veterinarians for leadership roles in management or research of diseases in livestock, poultry, and wildlife populations in Florida, USA, and globally. Areas of emphasis are: (a) health and reproduction in livestock populations (b) food safety; (c) health in wildlife populations. The M.P.V.M. is a non-thesis program and is structured to be completed in 1 or 2 years. Only veterinarians (DVM degree or equivalent) will be eligible to enroll in the program.
M.P.V.M. students will complete, in residence, 12 credits of required graduate coursework in veterinary epidemiology (3 credits), biostatistics (3 credits), department/college graduate seminars (2 credits), responsible conduct of research (1 credit), and a special project addressing a health problem in livestock, poultry, and wildlife populations in Florida, USA, or globally (3 credits), as well as 18 credits in elective coursework. The total number of credit hours is 30 (including 15 credits in the major).
M.P.V.M. graduates will have epidemiologic and diagnostic tools to solve complex health problems in livestock and wildlife populations at the state, national, or international levels (e.g., mastitis in dairy cattle, abortion in beef cattle, enhanced surveillance and enhanced biosecurity for management of diseases in livestock, and poultry populations, outbreak investigation of foodborne pathogens, contamination of animal products, diseases and mortality in wildlife). In addition, M.P.V.M. graduates will be better prepared to pursue PhD research training opportunities for future success in research-related positions in industry or in research-intensive positions in academia.
