Administration, UF College of Veterinary Medicine
The College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) at the University of Florida, the state's only veterinary college, offers comprehensive service to the public through a fourfold mission - teaching, research, extension, and patient care. Following graduation of its first class in 1980, the college has built on the university's reputation for excellence.
We are the only College of Veterinary Medicine in the State of Florida and a top 10 veterinary college as ranked by U.S. News & World Report. Established in 1976, the UF College of Veterinary Medicine, one of 28 vet schools in the United States, is dedicated to advancing animal, human and environmental health through its teaching, research, extension, and patient care activities. The CVM has linkages to two University of Florida administrative units, with funding and reporting structures to the Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences and the Health Science Center.
The UF College of Veterinary Medicine is a national leader in the education of veterinarians. Our current DVM enrollment includes more than 330 students, and we have more than 120 students enrolled in our master's and doctoral programs. Our Veterinary Medical Teaching Center is a major animal referral center treating more than 37,000 animals annually, and we recently established a Small Animal Reproductive Service in the VMC, as well as a Cardiology Service. In addition, just a year ago, we established an Emergency Medicine Rotation with Florida Veterinary Specialists in Tampa , the first UF CVM public-private partnership to deliver veterinary clinical education.
We also have several unique College programs including: the Center for Environmental & Human Toxicology, the Center for Veterinary Sports Medicine, the Charlie Bild VIP Program, the Comparative Clinical Immunology Program, Equine Neonatal and Perinatal Studies, the Greyhound Adoption Program, the Island Whirl Equine Colic Research Laboratory, the Marine Mammal Health Program, the Mobile Equine Diagnostic Service, Operation Catnip, the Pet Memorial Program, the Racing Laboratory, the Ticks and Tickborne Diseases Program, and Zoological Medicine Training.
