CLOSE-UP CLASSES. The semester is over, which means it's selective time at #NCStateVetMed. Students choose their selectives — fast-paced, intensely focused classes that last one or two weeks — from an array of offerings ranging from equine anesthesia to global health management to feline oncology. Because NC State cares for a pack of critically endangered red wolves, 20 students were able to choose Carnivore Medicine as an option, and this week they were learning how to capture, handle, sedate and examine the wolves, which get full physicals including radiographs every other year.

#NCStateVetMed is a global authority in fighting antimicrobial resistance and is the only place in the United States to have two large national monitoring systems: GenomeTrakr, launched by the FDA in 2012, and the National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System, established in 1996 by the FDA, the Centers for Disease Control and the US Department of Agriculture.
