Cornell launches Center for Veterinary Business and Entrepreneurship

Cornell’s College of Veterinary Medicine has launched the Center for Veterinary Business and Entrepreneurship (CVBE), a new interdisciplinary program intended to spur research, training and outreach in veterinary business to improve animal health care. Businesses are the vehicle for delivering veterinary medical services and developing new life-saving products, but veterinary academia has largely ignored the business of veterinary medicine as a focus of research and scholarship. The college is taking a new approach with this unique program, which unites expertise from CVM and the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business.
