The Veterinary Summer Scholars Research Program offers incoming Doctor of Veterinary Medicine students at the University of Arizona College of Veterinary Medicine a unique opportunity to gain hands-on research experience in a range of disciplines across multiple colleges at the university before embarking on their formal veterinary education.
Driven by a desire to expand her horizons, Vadana joined the Summer Veterinary Research Scholars Program, eager for hands-on research and a strong start to her veterinary training. “I joined the summer research program because I wanted to gain new experiences and get a head start on my journey into veterinary medicine,” she shares. Under the mentorship of Dr. Ganchorre, Vadana engaged with research that aligns closely with her values and career goals. “I’m being intentional with the work I do. I want to contribute meaningfully and make a difference in the research my mentor is leading.” Looking forward, Vadana is excited about two major opportunities this summer: presenting her work at the end-of-summer Symposium and expanding her network in the veterinary community. “I can’t wait to present my work at the end-of-summer Symposium. And the networking— I’ve already started making connections that will support my future in vet med.” Vandana Hegde
