Minnesota Swine Summer Institute

February 14, 2007 — 

The second Minnesota Swine Summer Institute will be held between August 13 and September 21, 2007 at the College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Minnesota. The inaugural Summer Institute in 2006 included ten participants from the USA, Spain, Australia, Korea, and Venezuela.

The program is divided into three segments of two weeks (Introduction to Swine Health and Production; Principles of Population Based Diagnostics & Therapeutics; Advanced Swine Health and Production). The institute is targeted at DVM students, recent DVM graduates or others looking to obtain detailed knowledge of swine health and production and the US swine industry.

Participation in the individual two week courses is possible. The final Advanced course includes participation at the Allen D. Leman Swine conference from September 15-18.

Course outlines and information on fees can be found on the University of Minnesota's Swine Disease Eradication Center website or by contacting Dr. Peter Davies at davie001@umn.edu.
