Facilities
The College of Veterinary Medicine's facilities, from the VME to UVDL to South Farm and the Caine Dairy, reflect the breadth of veterinary medicine in Utah: small animal, large animal, production, diagnostic, research, and public health. They support providing our students with experience across all of these environments throughout their program.
