For the first time since 1950, students from China are being supported by China and the U.S. to earn a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree in the United States. The U.S.-China Joint DVM Program is sponsored by the China Scholarship Council, Kansas State University, the International Veterinary Collaboration for China and, the Chinese Veterinary Medical Association. The U.S.-China Center for Animal Health (USCCAH) coordinates and leads the partnership in mobilizing the program. On August 25, 2013, USCCAH hosted a luncheon to mark the successful completion of the first year of this historic partnership.
