As the name indicates, “teaching” is one of the primary missions of the hospital. Veterinary students from all five years of the curriculum learn through active engagement in the care for animal patients.
Through clinical trials, veterinarians find answers to specific clinical questions about new therapies and drugs.
Some patients may be eligible to participate in a clinical trial, which makes cutting-edge treatments available to the patient at a reduced cost to the animal owners.
The animal owners will be provided with details about the study and its potential benefits and risks and will be asked to sign a consent form.
