Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine

The Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine (VMCVM) is a dual-state professional school formed through a partnership of the land-grant universities Virginia Tech in Blacksburg and the University of Maryland in College Park. The formation of this college ridges the gap of the veterinary medicine educational needs across the states of Virginia and Maryland. The VMCVM enrolls approximately 128 Doctor of Veterinary Medicine students, annually, and is a leading center for veterinary medical education and research. The Blacksburg campus of the VMCVM provides full clinical services for the public and veterinary practitioners throughout Virginia. While the College Park campus focuses on conducting cutting-edge research, providing high-quality graduate education, assisting the training of DVM students in the track of Public and Corporate Veterinary Medicine, and outreach through extension programs.
