The Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) program is designed to offer first-class scientific and clinical training in veterinary medicine. The program enables students to understand the basic biological principles of normal body function and disease, and the ability to distinguish the pathological from the normal, to prevent disease and safely manage the processes of animal production.

As an EU member state, automatic recognition based on harmonized minimum training requirements for sectoral professions (doctors, nurses, dentists, veterinary surgeons, pharmacists and midwives) is provided.

Students interested in pursuing a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree should major in Biology. Students should review the admissions requirements for the veterinary schools of their choice.

The Doctor of Veterinary Medicine program emphasizes the importance of core training in comparative biology and medicine, including all primary clinical disciplines and domestic animal species. Opportunities exist for elective training across a wide variety of more specialized subjects, such as zoo, exotics, and wildlife medicine, marine sciences, clinical nutrition, and various clinical specialties (cardiology, oncology, theriogenology, anesthesiology, internal medicine, and surgery).

Students who are interested in going to veterinary school typically major in biology, chemistry or biochemistry. These majors include most of the required courses for entrance into veterinary programs. However, other degrees can also prepare students for health professions; thus students are encouraged to major in the field where they excel and should consult the pre-health professions advisor about course work.

Students not in the program may apply to the university as Animal Science Preveterinary majors. Students may apply for admission into the Veterinary Preparation major during the semester during which they will complete all prerequisite coursework. Approval will be contingent upon satisfactory fulfillment of the prerequisites and the grade point average standard.

As a Lindenwood University pre-veterinary student, you will typically follow the Lindenwood curriculum for a bachelor of science degree in biological science. With this degree, you will receive the prerequisite coursework needed to be a good candidate for application to a veterinary school.

The Department of Biomedical Sciences currently supports three-year residency programs in both anatomic and clinical pathology. These training programs are designed to prepare trainees to become board-certified by the American College of Veterinary Pathology. Residents are trained in all aspects of diagnostic investigation including cytology, hematology, clinical chemistry, and urinalysis for clinical pathology trainees and surgical biopsy and necropsy for anatomic pathology trainees. Residents participate in weekly journal clubs and attend rounds for histopathology, gross pathology, and cytology. They work closely with students, house officers, and clinicians in the teaching hospital as well as referring veterinarians. Residents are also encouraged to pursue research projects of interest and educational benefit. The goal of the program is to provide residents with a learning environment conducive to becoming highly competent veterinary pathologists with skills in diagnostics, teaching, and research.

The UF College of Veterinary Medicine’s Department of Large Animal Clinical Sciences provides teaching, research, extension, and service in areas of equine health, production animal (food animal) health, aquatic animal health, and companion animal health.

Harran University Veterinary Faculty was opened in 1995. In the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, breeding and production of pet, small and bovine animals and poultry, improving their generations, increasing their productivity, protecting their health, treating their diseases, preventing epidemic diseases, performing preventive medicine duties in diseases transmitted from animals to humans, controlling the quality of animal products and their conformity to human health Education, research and practice are carried out on environmental pollution, marketing of live animals and animal products.

The study of veterinary medicine is a study course with national restriction. The application for approval must be exclusively made by the University Admissions Foundation (SfH).

The Early Entry Program (EEP) is a unique program of the MSU CVM that allows high-achieving high school seniors to earn pre-approved acceptance into the CVM.
