Shaping Veterinary Medicine Around the World
Beyond its role as a teaching facility for DVM students and a leading referral hospital for advanced care, the UC Davis veterinary hospital also serves as the world’s largest training ground for future veterinary specialists.
The hospital’s house officer program—which offers residencies, internships, and fellowships—attracts participants from around the globe.
Currently, there are 140 house officers training in 47 specialty disciplines—44 of whom are internationals who will take their new skills back home to improve veterinary medicine in their native country. Several of those house officers will return to clinical teaching positions, not only improving the immediate care of their patients, but advancing the level of veterinary education for generations to come.
