Matching Program

The School of Veterinary Medicine offers post D.V.M. students the opportunity to further their veterinary skills through internship and residency programs.

Internships are offered by the Veterinary Teaching Hospital and are a 12 1/2-month clinical program providing advanced training in medicine and surgery. The program is designed to qualify the individual for entry into an approved residency program leading to board certification in a recognized veterinary specialty.

Residencies designed to provide advanced training and to satisfy requirements for certification as specialists are offered in a variety of clinical areas by the Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences. Successful completion of an internship or equivalent practice experience is required prior to admission in a residency program. A residency consists of three years of clinical study, research, teaching, and formal coursework. It is designed to provide the resident with an intensive clinical experience under the guidance of the clinical faculty. In conjunction with the residency program, a graduate degree or clinical investigator program may be pursued concurrently. Refer to each specialty for specific requirements and opportunities.
