“Our curriculum is dedicated to developing career-ready veterinarians whether our graduates choose to enter private practice, military service, academia, biomedical research, or any other aspect of veterinary medicine,” said Dr. Carlos Risco, dean of the veterinary center. “We pride ourselves on giving students hands-on experience. Our shelter surgery program alone performs spay/neuter surgeries on 3,200 dogs and cats a year. We are proud of these veterinarians and look forward to their many successes.”
