Clinical Training in Canada
St. Matthew’s University School of Veterinary Medicine (SMUSVM) has arrangements with U.S., Canadian and U.K. veterinary schools to provide an important bridge from academic classroom settings to hands-on, real-world settings. These include the Atlantic Veterinary College at the University of Prince Edward Island and the Ontario Veterinary College at the University of Guelph.
DVM students can learn with Canadian-based final year veterinary students while benefiting from direct contact with patients of a variety of species and working with state-of-the-art technology in the diagnosis and treatment of life-threatening medical conditions. Through a series of Clinical Medicine rotations in mixed track programs, providing wide-ranging small-animal and large-animal care experiences, students are called on to integrate the knowledge acquired during their Basic Science studies.
