Professor Wayne Jensen, Department Head

Faculty in the Department of Clinical Sciences participate in training professional veterinary medical students and graduate students. For the veterinary medical student curriculum, students are instructed in the diagnosis, medical and surgical treatment, and prevention and management of domestic and exotic animal diseases. Through field service clinical experience, students receive on-the-farm training in livestock herd health management and production medicine. Our major clinical training center is the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, which operates state-of-the-art primary and referral services in all areas of small animal medicine and surgery, equine, and agricultural animal clinical care.

No undergraduate major is offered.

Graduate Programs in Clinical Sciences

Graduate programs offered in the department lead to Master of Science or Doctor of Philosophy degrees. Particular research focus areas within the department include epidemiology, musculoskeletal diseases, cancer biology, cardiovascular diseases, regenerative medicine, and infectious diseases of animals.

The department also offers a three-year combined master’s degree and residency program in large and small animal surgery, anesthesiology, cardiology, dentistry, internal medicine, neurology, oncology, ophthalmology, dermatology, small and large animal sports medicine and rehabilitation, large and small animal theriogenology, and emergency and critical care medicine. These training programs partially fulfill requirements for board certification in these specialties. Students interested in graduate work should refer to the Graduate and Professional Bulletin and the Department of Clinical Sciences.
