The CVM must be recognized in its role as a major player in endeavors affecting the entire AHC including genomics, food safety and zoonoses. This exercise was a combination of defining the CVM’s current status (Where is the CVM now?), visioning for the CVM’s future (Where do we want to be in the next 3 - 5 years?), and assessing the political/fiscal realities for the CVM (What will it take to get where we want to be?). This Executive Summary provides an overview using this approach, where applicable, to each of the Defining Questions.en-USAcademic Health CenterHealth sciencesPlanningCollege of Veterinary MedicineReport
