Abstract

The Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine Summer Food Systems Fellowship Program is a collaboration with industry partners aimed at providing value added experiences to veterinary students with a food animal industry career goal. By providing relevant non-clinical experiences in a variety of food industry areas, students gain experiences that will complement and strengthen their traditional veterinary training and help them to meet the needs of a changing agriculture landscape. We describe the experience of 2 students employed as Legislative Fellows for the US Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry as an example of how this program has an impact on students.
