Animal Clinical Sciences offers courses designed to meet the needs of the professional program in veterinary medicine, the post-D.V.M. clinical training programs (internships and residencies) that provide the basis for specialty board certification, and the graduate program leading to the master of science degree. Students, interns and residents have the opportunity to gain a broad base of experience in treating a variety of small animals, including companion animals and wildlife and zoo animals, through the Veterinary Teaching Hospital. The hospital, equivalent to a 300-bed human hospital, provides high-quality service and patient care. The majority of the faculty are board certified and many are doing research as well as clinical work. The department has a solid reputation in orthopedic and thoracic surgery as well as anesthesiology. Current research in the department includes, but is not limited to, orthopedic research, molecular genetics, cardiomyoplasty, new anesthetic methods, and treatment and therapies for shock. In addition, a Veterinary Biomechanical Evaluation Laboratory allows veterinarians to study gait and motion in dogs. The Laboratory for Comparative Orthopaedic Research and the Laboratory for Molecular Medicine are special areas of emphasis in the department
