Characteristics
From generalist to specialist
〜Training for specialists in 3 advanced veterinary fields〜
This Graduate School will include training for advanced veterinary science specialists based on general veterinary science undergraduates. In addition to education for researchers, in order to train resources to become regional leaders, taking advantage of the characteristics of both universities (Animal hospital and Research Center for Wildlife Management, etc. at Gifu University; University Veterinary Medical Center, Avian Zoonosis Research Center, etc. at Tottori University) and past research achievements, the following 3 specialists trainings has been established to build an education curriculum that is directly connected to social issues (needs).
Animal hygiene and public health specialists
