The faculty members of the Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences instruct veterinary students, interns and residents in the art and science of veterinary medicine, undertake clinical research for the benefit of both animals and humans, and provide specialized care for animal patients from Louisiana and surrounding states. 

The Department currently has 55 faculty members as of 08/2008, 16 residents and 12 interns who support state-of-the-art patient care in the Veterinary Teaching Hospital and Clinics (see the convenient link to this web site). 

VCS supports graduate programs at the M.S. and Ph.D. levels and participation in these programs is restricted to individuals who have a veterinary degree.  Most M.S. programs are linked to residencies, which can be applied for through the VIRMP (see the convenient link to this web site).
