Welcome to the Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences. Our department focuses on the clinical aspects of issues dealing with companion animals and horses. There are over 44 veterinarians in this department, with appointments ranging from intern to full professor. Faculty members have specialty training, and the following disciplines are currently represented in the department: Radiology, Anesthesiology, Cardiology, Neurology, Dermatology, Small Animal Surgery, Small Animal Medicine, Ophthalmology, Equine Surgery, Equine Medicine, and Theriogenology (animal reproduction). Our Faculty members teach veterinary students in these disciplines throughout the curriculum, but most classroom teaching is concentrated in the second and third years. All of the veterinarians in the Department hold appointments in the Veterinary Medical Center (VTH) where they provide clinical service to animal owners and referring practitioners. Fourth year veterinary students spend much of their time in the VTH, working alongside the clinicians and residents, refining the clinical training which they started in the second and third years of the professional program.

Research in the Department reflects the various disciplines represented, and concentrates on problems relevant to the causes, diagnosis and treatment of problems affecting companion animals and horses. The department offers residencies in Equine Surgery, Small Animal Medicine, Small Animal Surgery and Ophthalmology. We also offer an MS degree with a variety of emphases.
