David Hird, D.V.M., Ph.D., M.P.V.M.
 I
received an A.B. degree from Stanford University, Doctor of Veterinary Medicine
and Master of Preventive Veterinary Medicine from UC Davis, and a Ph.D.
degree in Veterinary Microbiology (concentration: Epidemiology) from the
University of Minnesota. I chose Davis as my academic institution
because it has an excellent academic reputation, and for many years has
been well-known in veterinary epidemiology. These are the same reasons
for my interest in participating in the graduate group in Epidemiology. |
