The academic professional program calls for two phases of education: a preclinical three-year phase and a clinical phase in the fourth year of training. The first through the third years of the professional program are concerned with a gradual progression from a basic science presentation to a more clinical application of veterinary science. Two summer-vacation periods are allowed in the first three years of the professional program.

First year students engage in exploration of foundational science and medical concepts using a comparative (multi-species) approach designed around bodily systems. This learning is supplemented by training in communications, team-based problem solving, professionalism and clinical reasoning.听 In addition to the courses below students will be required to complete one 1 credit selective course in each of the fall and spring semesters.

Third year students kick off the Fall Semester with a four week preceptorship field experience. On returning to campus, they practice advanced application of their medical skills and knowledge with complex cases across multiple species and contexts. Supplemental content reviews core principles from Year One and prepares students for entry to clinics. Students will have the opportunity to choose from a menu of core electives, with a requirement to take two credit hours in Fall and four credit hours in the Spring. These allow for targeted learning fit to their specific career interests.听 In addition, students will take one 1 credit selective course in the Fall semester and a required 2 credit selective, VMP 992 Clinical Pathology & Lab Medicine, in the spring which serves as the introduction to fourth year clinical rotations.

Students must complete 49 credits in the fourth year: 46 credits of clinical rotations and three credits in Clinical Conference. The clinical year consists of a combination of core and elective rotations that are determined based upon a student鈥檚 declared species priority area with two vacation blocks. Clinical Conference presentations are required of each student.

The clinic scheduling process begins in fall of third year with information sessions with senior clinicians and/or clinical coordinators, Academic Affairs, and Students Services.
