Annual Combined Degree Colloquium & Veterinary Scholars Symposium
Each summer, veterinary scientists from across the country convene at the Combined Degree Colloquium, held in conjunction with the AAVMC’s Veterinary Scholars Symposium (VSS) with support from Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health. While the VSS invites all veterinary students engaged in research, the Colloquium offers events, presentations, and programs specifically for students enrolled in DVM/PhD or VMD/PhD Programs.
