Why do we need a companion animal clinic?
The companion animal clinic is an integral part of all veterinary schools. A veterinary clinic comprises specialists, general practitioners, veterinary technicians, students, customer service staff and administrators, who work collaboratively to provide the highest quality of veterinary care. As a centre of excellence, the team is committed to providing exceptional client and patient care, utilising the most current technologies available in veterinary medicine while contributing to the knowledge, innovation and advancement of the veterinary profession. The Centre also provides a clinical environment for the training and mentoring of future veterinarians, veterinary nurses and technicians, and advanced veterinary specialty training.
