This news item from the Cornell Chronicle is about: Cornell's College of Veterinary Medicine's new two-year Clinical Fellows Program is the first in the country to address a growing shortage of academic veterinarians who conduct research on animal diseases and basic biology. By providing a new model for academic veterinary training, we hope to address the critical shortage of clinicians and scholars who are needed to train the next generation of veterinarians and to continue to make advances in the treatment of disease, said Michael I. Kotlikoff, Cornell's Austin O. Hooey Dean of Veterinary Medicine.
