Clinical Internship and Residency Program
The Department of Clinical Sciences supports over 60 graduate students who are currently enrolled in internship and residency programs across more than 15 specialties.
Residency programs are three-year advanced training opportunities designed for graduate veterinarians seeking board certification in a specific area of veterinary medicine.
Internship programs are one-year training opportunities intended for graduate veterinarians who plan to pursue a residency or wish to gain additional experience under the guidance of veterinary specialists before entering private practice or exploring other career paths.
“The Department of Clinical Sciences in the College of Veterinary Medicine has been named the newest recipient of the Departmental Award for Excellence in Education by the Teaching Effectiveness Committee.”
“Over the past five years, interns and residents pursuing advanced degrees and specialty training have also achieved high placement rates into advanced programs, strong specialty board certification outcomes, and excellent employment results, underscoring the department’s lasting impact on graduate success.”
