Abstract:
The American veterinary education system is very different from Taiwan's. In the US, the graduate-level professional school goes along with a comprehensive post-graduate training includes internship, residency, and specialty boards. Moreover, research is often considered as an essential component of clinical training. As a Taiwanese veterinarian who pursues PhD and clinical pathology training in the US, I will share some fun facts about the American veterinary education as well as my PhD study: "urine, serum, and kidney miRNA and gene expression characterization in dogs with chronic kidney diseases".
Do you know that American veterinary students are 90% female? How could Taiwanese veterinarians practice in the US? Are there "specialty doctors" in veterinary medicine as well? Find the answers in my talk!
