The
VMCAS application is up and running! If you are applying this year to the
CLASS of 2021 it's time to get started. Visit the
AAVMC web site and begin your application soon. There is not a separate Supplemental Application this year, so all information collected will be in the VMCAS.
The deadline to submit your VMCAS application and all supporting documents is
September 15th. You should also start a
Cornell Tracking Page as soon as possible. This is how we communicate with you throughout the application process (including your admissions decision letter when the application
review is completed).

In the
Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) program, Warnick said he will continue to work on educational initiatives to improve preparation for the primary care small-animal practice. This will include completion of a new facility to house the college's
Community Practice Service. In addition to clinical experience, "We want to better prepare our students to be engaged in business entrepreneurship and new technology, and really play a leadership role in the business side of veterinary medicine," he said.
With the number of U.S. veterinary schools expanding, Warnick sees "recruiting the best DVM students," with a focus on diversifying each class, as an immediate
challenge. He said his administration will continue looking for ways to reduce student debt levels and provide a greater variety of career opportunities. Veterinary medicine affects human and animal health, covering food production and safety, public health,
racing and performance horses, biomedical research, wildlife conservation and international development as well as companion animal care. "We would like to have our students prepared and to have options to participate in all of those different areas," he said.
A professor of
ambulatory and production medicine, Warnick's research focuses on enteric bacteria that can cross species and lead to illness in humans. His work emphasizes Salmonella in dairy cattle. "We look at the Salmonella bacteria that are transferred from cattle
to people, and try to determine to what extent the pathogens found in people came from livestock sources," he said.
Another of his main research areas includes the emergence of drug-resistant bacteria and how much these microbes are shared between different host populations.
Warnick said with the help of his lab team he plans to continue with research while serving as dean.
Warnick received a bachelor's degree from Brigham Young University (1984), a DVM degree from Colorado State University (1988) and a Ph.D. with an emphasis on epidemiology
and statistics from Cornell (1994). He is a diplomate in the American College of Veterinary Preventive Medicine.
