Mentored research presentations highlight FVSP
As summer winds down at the UF College of Veterinary Medicine, 11 rising second-year Gator Vet students in the DVM Class of 2028 capped off the Linda F. Hayward Florida Veterinary Scholars Program, or FVSP, and CVM’s VEM 5991 Individualized Investigation course by presenting their project findings with faculty, staff and peers at CVM’s Veterinary Education Center on July 31.
The research program, housed in the Office of Veterinary Research and Graduate Studies, annually provides an opportunity for veterinary students to engage in hypothesis-driven, mentored research over a 10-12 week period between their first and second years of veterinary school, with a main mission of exposing veterinary students to careers in biomedical research. This may include industry, government and academia-based paths.
Chris Martyniuk, Ph.D., UF Vet Med toxicology expert and associate chair and professor in the Department of Physiological Sciences, served as this year’s program director, while Apichai Tuanyok, Ph.D., Heather Walden, Ph.D., Domenico Santoro, D.V.M. and Ramiro Isaza, D.V.M., M.P.H., were the 2024-25 FVSP board members.
Thanks to support from Boehringer Ingelheim, the Morris Animal Foundation and the Florida Veterinary Medical Association, the 2025 cohort of FVSP students studied and presented findings on a wide range of research topics and projects alongside their CVM mentors and research teams.
