Companion Animal Community Practice Expansion

Companion animal medicine is the core of veterinary medicine. Analogous to a doctor's office, this is where fundamental pet care, vaccinations, bite injury treatment, and preventive medicine is delivered.

The MU College of Veterinary Medicine has an enviable reputation for educating the best companion animal veterinarians. An opportunity exists to expand on this already impressive program.

Under this plan, a free-standing companion animal clinic would be established. This facility would provide students with more significant real world medicine through best practice business principles. Depending on funding, it is envisioned that the Barkley House concept could be incorporated into the design.
