The UT residency and internship programs emphasize post-DVM clinical education.
Residents participate in a three-year program, specializing in a particular clinical area.
The UT College of Veterinary Medicine ranks very high among all U.S. veterinary schools nationally for residency programs, based on the number of resident applicants stating a preference for a particular institution. The rotating internship in small animal medicine and surgery is designed to give the trainee a well-balanced exposure to the various specialty services in the small animal hospital. Approximately 6 months are spent in the general medicine and emergency service. Additional time is spent in surgery, neurology, dermatology, ophthalmology, radiology, and anesthesiology. An elective block is available at the intern's discretion.
