First Year
The DVM program's initial year focuses on foundational knowledge, covering anatomy, animal handling techniques, and clinical skill development. Instruction combines classroom lectures, campus lab work, and hands-on training at affiliated facilities. During the latter half, students explore general pathology and parasitology while synthesizing scientific knowledge essential for veterinary practice.
Second Year
Year two delves into disease pathology, with particular attention to infectious diseases. Teaching methods maintain the blend of lectures, laboratory sessions, and practical experiences. Learners further hone their professional competencies while connecting fundamental science with clinical applications.
Third Year
The program's third year centers on clinical veterinary medicine, addressing symptom recognition, diagnostic methods, treatment protocols, and disease prevention for common companion animal illnesses.
Fourth Year
Final year students undertake intensive clinical training through supervised rotations at various veterinary hospitals and partner institutions. This 32-week period (divided into two semesters) includes 22 weeks of mandatory, evaluated clinical clerkships across different specialty areas.
