LIFE IN COLUMBIA, MISSOURIColumbia, Mo., is often called by its nickname, Collegetown,U.S.A., and higher education has always played a vital rolefor the city. Columbia College was established in 1851 bythe Disciples of Christ Church as Christian Female College,the first women’s college west of the Mississippi. It becamea coeducational, four-year college in the 1970s. StephensCollege began as Baptist Female College in 1855. It changedits name to Stephen’s College for Women in 1870. TheUniversity of Missouri was founded in 1839 in Columbiaas the first public university west of the Mississippi Riverand the first state university in Thomas Jefferson’s LouisianaPurchase territory. MU provides all the benefits of twouniversities in one — it is a major land-grant institutionand Missouri’s largest public research university.Considered one of the nation’s top-tier institutions, Mizzouhas a reputation of excellence in teaching and research, andis the flagship campus of the four-campus University ofMissouri System. Today, the University of Missouri has astudent population of more than 33,000 and is Columbia’slargest employer with more than 13,000 full-time employees.Other top industries in Columbia are healthcare andinsurance. Columbia has one of the highest hospital bedsper capita ratios in the country. Money magazine, Men’sJournal, MSN.com and others have all called Columbia, one ofAmerica’s best places to live because of its excellent qualityof life. In 2012, Forbes ranked Columbia ninth in “The BestSmall Places for Business and Careers.” Housing is plentifulboth in town and in surrounding rural communities andcan be found in price ranges to satisfy almost any budget.The qualities that make Columbia so livable, also makeit a great place to pursue a professional education.Students at MU’s College of Veterinary Medicinework toward their DVM while enjoying an abundanceof recreational experiences. The campus itself is designatedas a botanic garden, featuring more than 5,000 trees and650 varieties of plants. A number of University buildings alsoare listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Thecampus boasts a student recreation complex that featuresrock climbing walls, extensive cardio and strength trainingequipment and a “beach getaway” pool area. MU is part of theSEC Athletic Conference and the Mizzou Tigers offer sportsfans thrilling competition throughout the academic year.Downtown Columbia (the District) is directly adjacent tothe MU campus and is packed with boutiques, restaurantsand galleries. Throughout the year, parades, art festivals,film festivals and music festivals contribute to a vibrantatmosphere. The Citizen Jane Film Fest, hosted by StephensCollege, celebrates some of the most daring, accomplishedand interesting work by women filmmakers. The True/False Film Festival features documentaries, many freshlydiscovered from Sundance, Toronto and other festivals.Every September, Roots N Blues N Barbecue presentsnationally known musicians performing bluegrass, blues,Appalachian folk, gospel and other genres of Americanbasedmusic, as well as barbecue food stands, and for themore actively inclined, half-marathon and 10K runs.Other shopping, dining and entertainment areas lie justoutside the District, but are still within the city limits. Manyof these can be reached by the Columbia Transit System orby the city’s scenic MKT Trail. The MKT trail is a nine-milehiking and biking trail with trailheads throughout Columbia,including one near the MU campus. The MKT trail alsoconnects to the nation’s longest rails-to-trails project, thegravel-paved KATY Trail State Park, which stretches morethan 237 miles across the state. As for road trips, there aremore than 3,000 acres of state park lands within 10 miles ofColumbia. Drive just a few miles beyond the city and findfarmland, forests, parks and vineyards. Some of the mostvisited nearby spots include Rock Bridge Memorial State Park,Finger Lakes State Park (offering camping and lake swimming)and Les Bourgeois Vineyards in Rocheport overlookingthe Missouri River (the best sunset-watching site!).6TEACHING.

The professionalcurriculum is integrated with Collegeservices including statewide animaldisease diagnostic services, extensionand continuing education programs foranimal owners and veterinarians, patientcare referral and consultation servicesfor multiple species of animals, researchprograms in animal and human diseases,and advanced specialized training inveterinary and comparative medicine.The curriculum at the MU Collegeof Veterinary Medicine is designed toprovide students with the knowledgeand technical skills necessary to becompetent entry-level veterinarians.We prepare our students for generalveterinary practice, for entry intograduate or specialty training programsand with the background necessaryfor careers in regulatory medicine.The first two years of the veterinarycurriculum are designed to providestudents with a solid foundation inbasic biomedical science. The courses inthe preclinical professional curriculuminclude anatomy, physiology, celland molecular biology, pathology,pharmacology, microbiology, virologyand toxicology. The fundamentalsof the clinical disciplines are alsotaught during this time and includeanesthesiology, clinical pathology,radiology, public health, and medicineand surgery. The organizationalstructure of the professional curriculumdiffers from other schools in thatthe first two academic years aredivided into eight-week instructionalperiods that run from August throughJune. Students have summer breaksbetween the first and second, andsecond and third years of instructionthat are six weeks in duration.During the third and fourth clinicalyears of the professional curriculum,students learn to combine the art andscience of clinical veterinary medicineand surgery. Two didactic blocks inthe VM-3 year provide instruction inclinical subjects not addressed earlier.Practical application of basic principlesof medicine and surgery to diagnose,prevent and treat disease in all animalspresents a challenge to the student’smental and physical resources.Clinical training in the VeterinaryMedical Teaching Hospital andthe Veterinary Medical DiagnosticLaboratory consists of service rotationsthat range from two to eight weeksin length. Students must completethe following core rotations: equinemedicine and surgery, food animalmedicine and surgery, anesthesiology,radiology, neurology/neurosurgery,oncology, ophthalmology, smallanimal orthopaedic surgery, smallanimal soft tissue surgery, diagnosticpathology, small animal communitypractice, small animal internalmedicine, small animal emergencyand critical care, and theriogenology.In addition, students must selectelective rotations for a total of 14 weeks.Four weeks of elective experiencemust be off-campus. Ten weeks ofelective courses are usually completedon campus. Enrollment in clinicalelective rotations may be limited by16TEACHING. HEALING. DISCOVERY. SERVICE.

Electivesthat are currently offered includeanesthesiology, cardiology, small animalclinical nutrition, external food animalservice and theriogenology teachingprogram, equine medicine and surgery,laboratory animal medicine, neurology/neurosurgery, oncology, ophthalmology,orthopaedic surgery, pathology, publichealth/ regulatory medicine, radiology,research techniques, small animalemergency and critical care, smallanimal internal medicine, small animalsoft tissue surgery, and special problems.During their clinical rotations, studentsare allotted 12 weeks as ‘free’ time.Most students utilize their free timeto study for licensing examinations,complete preceptorships, or interviewwith prospective employers. Theymay also take additional clinicalrotations during this time.Schedule andCompletion ofRequired CoursesIn the first two years, all students followthe same schedule, and courses mustbe successfully completed in sequence.Because preclinical courses are offeredyearly, academic or hardship issuesthat prevent a student from completinga course will prolong professionaltraining by one year. In the final twoyears of the professional program, thestudent must successfully complete therequired and elective clinical rotationsto fulfill graduation requirements. It isthe prerogative of the veterinary medicalfaculty to determine the curriculum andto require that such lectures, demonstrations,exercises, and experiences usinglive animals, cadavers or clinical patientsare important, required or necessary.To receive the DVM degree, studentsmust pass all courses. In addition topassing examinations, attendance andparticipation in all lectures, laboratoriesand clinical exercises is required. Thedoctor of veterinary medicine degreeis awarded after successful completionof the professional program.Academic ProbationAny student who receives a gradeof D in any required course of theprofessional curriculum and whosecumulative GPA is less than 2.0 will beplaced on academic probation. Probationmust be removed by the end of the nexttwo successive grading periods. Anystudent whose term GPA is less than 2.0will be placed on academic probation.Probation must be removed by the endof the next successive grading period.Dismissal from the Collegeon Academic GroundsA student who receives a grade ofF in any required or elective courseof the professional curriculum willbe dismissed. Any student failing toremove probation in the prescribedtime will be dismissed. Studentson academic probation will not bepermitted to graduate. Students whoaccumulate in excess of 9.0 credithours of D grades in the professionalcurriculum will be dismissed.Academic Scholarship Regulations:www.cvm.missouri.edu/stuhandbook_sec1.htm2013-2014 CVM COLLEGE CATALOG 17

The teaching is conductedthrough both didactic and appliedcourses. Second-year veterinary medicalstudents also study general, systemicand special pathology, veterinary clinicalpathology, and laboratory animal medicine.The extensive and varied caseloadsin clinical pathology and VeterinaryMedical Diagnostic Laboratory programsare used as teaching resources during thethird and fourth years of the curriculum.Courses offered in microbiologyprovide instruction on special propertiesof pathogenic microorganisms, the hostresponse to invading microorganisms,and techniques for isolating andidentifying microorganisms. Specialemphasis is placed on the transmission,prevention and control of infectiousand parasitic diseases, veterinarycommunity health, epidemiology andimmunology. Lectures, laboratoryexercises, demonstrations, specialprojects and computer-assisted, as wellas problem-based programs, are offered.Faculty from the Department ofVeterinary Medicine and Surgeryprovide training in all four years of theprofessional curriculum. During thefirst year of basic science instruction,clinicians help to show the relevanceand application of basic science principlesto clinical medicine and surgery.They also provide the didactic instructionfor clinical subjects in the secondand third years of the curriculum.Students enter their clinical trainingearly in their third year of professionaleducation. This stage of training allowsthem to apply principles of medicineand surgery to diagnose, prevent andtreat disease in animals. They alsopractice effective communicationwith clients and with health care teammembers as animals are treated at theVeterinary Medical Teaching Hospital.Clinical rotations involve in-hospitaland out-of-hospital training. Throughthe patient-care method of study,professional students are given considerableresponsibility for the totalhealth needs of animals assigned totheir care. Discussion periods, formallectures, rounds and laboratory trainingguide the student’s progress in clinicalmedicine and surgery. In addition tothe required clinical rotations involvingcare for a spectrum of domestic species,a number of elective experiencesare also part of the clinical curriculum.PreceptorshipsStudents are encouraged to use their freetime to gain additional experience in veterinarypractices or to explore the manyother employment opportunities availableto veterinarians. Veterinary licensingboards in some states (includingMissouri) require applicants for licensureto complete an internship under thesupervision of a licensed veterinarian.It is important that students contact thelicensing board in the state in whichthey wish to practice to determine therequirements for licensure in that state.State LicensureIn addition to successfully completing aprofessional veterinary education, moststates require state and national licensingexaminations to meet requirements topractice. Students interested in veterinarymedicine should visit the NationalBoard of Veterinary Medical Examiners(NBVME; www.nbvme.org) and theAmerican Association of VeterinaryState Boards (AAVSB; www.aavsb.org) websites for further informationregarding the requirements for licensure.MU is the onlyMissouri institutionthat awards the doctorof veterinary medicinedegree, graduatingapproximately 110 newveterinarians each year.2013-2014 CVM COLLEGE CATALOG 21
