Clinical training will include individual animal medicine and surgery, herd / flock level medicine and reproduction.

• Funding will be available for an external concentrated cattle experience at another institution either within the US or internationally.

• Residents participate in didactic training exercises including journal club and boards preparation seminars. The resident will be required to undertake a suitable research project and prepare at least one manuscript suitable for publication during the program.
• Faculty mentors will help facilitate this requirement. A residency advisor and advisory committee are responsible for the residents’ program and progress. Residents will receive semi-annual written evaluations, which will be discussed with the resident’s advisory committee.
• Re-appointment in a successive year is contingent upon satisfactory progress in the program and funding availability.
• It may be possible for qualified candidates to apply for admission to graduate school to receive additional training and complete a master’s level or Ph.D. degree. This would extend the program and would only be feasible based upon finances, availability and candidate qualifications.
