We are committed to achieving our mission by:
- Providing students with the knowledge and skills needed to practice veterinary medicine in the 21st century.
- Helping students acquire the judgment and confidence necessary to become competent veterinarians.
- Motivating students to pursue knowledge outside the classroom, both during their tenure at St. Matthew’s University and throughout life.
- Creating an environment in which students and faculty interact with each other, their patients, and the community with compassion and integrity.
- Engaging faculty and students in the understanding and active practice of research which furthers their knowledge of the process of science and increases their appreciation of the balance between research and the artful practice of veterinary medicine.
