Research highlights from the Ontario Veterinary College’s Career Opportunities and Research Experience (CORE) Program

Abstract

This Special Series features research highlights from the Ontario Veterinary College’s Career Opportunities and Research Experience (CORE) Program (previously the Summer Leadership and Research Program), which ran from May 5th to August 12th, 2016. The CORE program was designed to provide B.Sc and D.V.M. students with additional exposure to the professional world of veterinary medicine and research. Alongside their work with researchers and faculty members, student participants attended a Round Table series, several conferences, field trips to research facilities, and professional development workshops. CORE participants also delivered oral and poster presentations, sharing the results of their research with peers and with the University of Guelph’s larger research community. Selected abstracts from these presentations are included here.
