The SGU SVM curriculum provides a three-year foundation in pre-clinical sciences and clinical skills that prepare our students for their fourth-year of clinical rotations at our 32 affiliated colleges of veterinary medicine, and, thus, ultimately for Day-one readiness as clinical practitioners. There are 102 weeks of direct instruction and assessments in the first three years, and 48 weeks of hands-on clinical training involving core medical knowledge; including prevention, diagnosis, treatment or mitigation of animal disease; as well as training in clinical skills and professional skills totalling 150 weeks in the program. The program is based on the core and Day one competencies identified by international accrediting bodies, the CBVE and the AVMA. Our program offers students a unique, innovative, internationally diverse approach to veterinary medical education.
Program outline:
The core rotation schedules are determined by the affiliated school at the time students are admitted into the clinical program. Elective choices and schedules are arranged individually by students, in consultation with the affiliated school.
