UCD is the home of the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, the California Primate Center, the California Diagnostic Laboratory, and the Institute for Toxicology and Environmental Health. There are many innovative programs at UCD with many international students. The School is fully committed to recruiting students with diverse racial backgrounds. The UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine is a nationally accredited institution authorized to confer the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree in a four-year professional program. All veterinary education programs remain functional as facilities issues are addressed .
Students continue to enroll in and graduate from a nationally accredited professional school.
Graduates qualify for national certification and state licensure examinations, internships and career veterinary positions. Improvements have been made over the years, but the building has reached its limit for remodeling to serve modern teaching and research needs. The university continues to press for public and private support to renovate and replace facilities to meet the classroom, laboratory and equipment needs of a modern veterinary education. Progress will be reviewed in two years. Both school and university officials are committed to resolving facilities concerns as quickly as possible to regain full accreditation.
