The partnership aims to create a pathway for students to embrace veterinary medical education and provides support to underrepresented communities who wish to become veterinary professionals. It also aims help the field of veterinary medicine reach population parity in terms of underrepresented groups.
The partnership is made possible by a generous grant from animal nutrition company Purina, which has established the Purina Resource Room at the academy.
