Site construction has begun for a new Veterinary Teaching Hospital that will have 11 state of the art ORs, ICU, intermediate care and general wards, dedicated treatment areas and a full range of diagnostic imaging facilities.

Back up emergency call is shared with other anesthesia faculty. Discovery: All faculty are expected to collaborate on clinical research projects.  Tenure track faculty are expected to develop an independent research program.
