College of Veterinary Medicine

Future Students . . . Welcome to OSU Vet Med!

OSU has the newest veterinary medicine program in the nation with modern facilities, state-of-the-art equipment and world-class faculty.

Students at the College of Veterinary Medicine are part of a supportive group of faculty, staff, and fellow students who take a personal interest in their success. Our small class size and high faculty-to-student ratio provides many valuable opportunities for one-on-one learning. That's one reason why 100% of our graduates last year passed the board exam on the first try.

Our four-year professional program includes a rigorous basic science curriculum; classes in core areas such as infectious agents, toxicology, pharmacology, radiology and clinical pathology; instruction in ethcs, principles of medicine, surgery, and anesthesiology; and hands-on experience in clinical rotations that directly involve students in patient care and client communication.

OSU Vet Med offers students unique experiences that are not available anywhere else including:

• An optional two-week experience at the Hatfield Marine Science Center on the Oregon coast
• Two weeks of surgery experience at the Humane Society's Animal Medical Learning Center in Portland
• An optional two-week experience at the Wildlife Safari Zoological Park

OSU Vet Med is proud of our state-of-the-art facilities. We have the latest in sophisticated equipment for education and treatment including:

• A 64-slice CT scanner
• A 3-D echocardio unit
• A small animal MRI
• A high-speed treadmill for equine rehabilitation
• Small animal rehabilitation and physiotherapy facilities
• Multimedia classrooms
• New, fully equipped wet and dry laboratories
