Iwate University Graduate School of Veterinary Sciences is a four-year doctoral (veterinary medicine) program launched in April 2018.
Veterinary Basic Sciences
The Veterinary Basic Sciences course focuses on "Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry" for advanced research in basic veterinary medicine on animal anatomy and physiology and "Pathology, Toxicology and Laboratory Animal Science" for advanced research in basic veterinary medicine on animal pathology. Through education and research by academic staff specializing in these fields, the course seeks to cultivate doctoral students' advanced specialized knowledge and research skills in preparation for their fundamental roles in veterinary medicine.
