Department of Clinical SciencesAbout the Department
The Department of Clinical Sciences is dedicated to excellence in educating and training veterinarians and comparative biomedical scientists, furthering health care and wellness through discovery and clinical research, providing outstanding and compassionate medical care to a diverse range of animal patients, effectively engaging animal-owning public, government and industry partners, and providing leadership in integrating biomedical sciences to advance One Health.
The Department of Clinical Sciences is heavily vested in training DVM students, including teaching clinical and surgical skills throughout all four years. This curricular thread has traditionally been shared by faculty from a number of disciplines. While the collaborative nature of this area of curriculum remains a significant strength, the demands of clinical services and the large laboratory footprint associated with clinical skills education have made it increasingly difficult to coordinate the delivery of this essential, complex thread. As the college moves toward curricular revision through the creation of multi-year threads of content, there is an opportunity to expand clinical skills education into a more cohesive, thematic thread. The college is invested in establishing dedicated faculty to build out and coordinate these broader thematic components of the curriculum.

The College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) has established the Academy of Educators (AOE) to develop, support, recognize and reward the broad community of educators who embrace the educational mission within the college. The Academy supports faculty (in addition to other members of the college) in a variety of ways, including: exposure to best teaching practices, communities of practice and financial support opportunities for educational related innovation, research and travel.
