We're at the start of an exciting new chapter for our fourth-year DVM students.
This week, they’re starting their clinical year at UW Veterinary Care, where they become part of the care teams that support the nearly 30,000 patient visits we care for annually.
During clinical year, students learn alongside the expert faculty, residents, interns, technicians and staff. For clients, that means their animal’s care may include many dedicated team members, each bringing different training, experience and perspective to the case. For students, it’s a chance to put years of learning into practice, build confidence and continue growing into the veterinarians they’ve worked so hard to become.
