The University of Minnesota (U of M) and South Dakota State University (SDSU) have officially announced a new Professional Program in Veterinary Medicine leading to a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree.

Former Dean Trevor Ames, DVM, MS, DACVIM, was named Veterinarian of the Year and Veterinary Population Medicine professor. Tim Goldsmith, DVM, MPH, took home Faculty of the Year honors at the annual meeting of the Minnesota Veterinary Medical Association. A number of CVM alumni also received recognition.

Interviews will begin later this month for prospective members of the next College of Veterinary Medicine veterinary class, which will begin classes in September 2020.
