Connections between drug makers and educators abound

The pharmaceutical industry has strong ties to veterinary education across the United States, providing financial support to professors, researchers and students. Zoetis, the world’s leading animal drug maker, has given $3.6 million in scholarships over the past five years to more than 1,100 U.S. veterinary students. A four-year veterinary education costs well over $200,000, and students often leave school with significant debt. Some students also are paid to serve as representatives of pharmaceutical companies on their campuses.
