Our Alumni Do Great Things!
Matt Doyle, DVM, (MPH ’09) received a prestigious American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) Congressional Science Fellowship for 2011-2012.
From the AVMA website, ” AVMA Congressional Science Fellows serve for one year in Washington, D.C as scientific advisors to Members of Congress. Fellows play pivotal roles in shaping and influencing key legislation that affects the veterinary profession and the health and safety of our nation. Every veterinarian possesses the skills needed to make a difference – from recent veterinary school graduates to veterinarians with years of experience. The Fellowship is an unparalleled opportunity to shape public policy while enhancing knowledge of the political process.”
Dr. Doyle earned his DVM from Michigan State University in 2008 and his MPH from the University of Minnesota in 2009.
Congraulations, Matt!
