A half-semester clinical experience consisting of rotation through a selection of available clinics that allow the students to acquire and deepen their clinical skills through the practical application of techniques and knowledge acquired in the previous years of their veterinary studies.

This will be an opportunity to combine all the skills sets obtained and apply them to a realistic clinical setting, whilst still under the observation of an academic institution. The medicine rotations will involve application of skills in clinical examination and diagnosis, clinical medicine, clinical pathology, therapeutics, pharmacy, and veterinary certification relevant to the particular class of animal.

Students will be able to choose from amongst a range of available rotations, some of which will be core (mandatory) to their clinical experience, while others will be offered as demand and availability will dictate.
