The Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine's Doctor of Veterinary Medicine Program is designed to develop competent and confident graduates capable of entering the profession with day-one knowledge, skills, and abilities, and a passion for lifelong learning. Our curriculum combines basic and applied sciences through integrated courses based on function, emphasizes team-based learning, and offers early entry to clinics. We're preparing the next generation of veterinary experts and leaders who are ready to protect and enhance the health of animals, people, and communities.
