Over 60% of all infectious diseases of animals can also affect humans, and incidences of new, emerging zoonotic infectious diseases are on the rise. Veterinarian-scientists, by virtue of their broad experience in multiple species and extensive training in both molecular and whole animal contexts, are uniquely qualified to address the complex problems presented in modern biomedical research.
For over 40 years, the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Veterinary Medicine has provided an outstanding environment for the training of future veterinarian-scientists through its VMD/PhD Program. Find out more about how you can impact tomorrow ’s medicine for all species at the link.

Public Health is the future. During the past 50 years there has been a 30 year increase in global life expectancy, the greatest seen in human history. It has been estimated that 25 years of the increase has been due to public health/prevention. Because of people who work in public health, the world is healthier than it has ever been.
Public Health is a great career for people who want to make a difference. It is not boring. We are in public health and we love it. We want you to talk to you, for you to consider training with us.
People work in public health with backgrounds in diverse disciplines including Engineering, Medicine, Anthropology, Nursing, Physics, Environmental Sciences, Nutrition, and Exercise Science. We need people with bachelor’s degrees; we need those with M.D., DVM, and Ph.D. degrees as well. You can come fresh out of college, or senior people might consider a degree while taking a sabbatical. Ours is an inherently interdisciplinary field.
We are recruiting students with an interest in working directly in public health and those who are interested in doing public health related research. We are looking for students to enter our PhD program in Epidemiology and in Community Health and our MPH or MS degree programs.
We offer are many exciting programs of research including foci on cancer, environmental health, heart disease and diabetes, molecular epidemiology, international epidemiology, nutrition, physical activity, genetic epidemiology and women’s health.
Come to the workshop to learn more about the exciting opportunities we can offer.
If you are interested in attending the workshop, send an email to: jwoltz@buffalo.edu. Information about the department can be found at the link.

Public health is the future. During the past 50 years there has been a 30 year increase in global life expectancy, the greatest seen in human history. It has been estimated that 25 years of the increase has been due to public health and prevention. Because of workers in public health, the world is the healthiest it has ever been. Sadly enough, there are not enough people trained in public health. There are 70 times more clinicians than people trained in public health. There are 8 times more undertakers than people trained in public health. The world knows more about burying people than preventing disease.
Public health is a career where you can make a difference. If you are interested in health research, think about training in epidemiology. It is not boring. We are in public health because we love it and we would like you to consider training with us. Our field needs people from many different areas, such as Engineering, Medicine, Anthropology, Nursing, Physics, Environmental Sciences, Nutrition, and Exercise Science. We need people with bachelor’s degrees; we need those with M.D., DVM and PhD degrees as well. You can come fresh out of an undergraduate program, or senior people might consider a degree while taking a sabbatical. We are interdisciplinary.
We are recruiting for students to our PhD programs in Epidemiology and in Community Health. We also have openings for students interested in our MPH or MS degree programs.
Students can enroll at all point in their life. Students graduate with excellent research skills, as evidenced by publications, presentations at national meetings and a wide variety of job possibilities. We offer many exciting programs of research including foci on cancer, aging, heart disease and diabetes, molecular epidemiology, international epidemiology, nutrition, physical activity and women’s health.
Come to a workshop to find out more about the program! If you are interested in attending, please send an email to JWoltz@buffalo.edu.
