Community Outreach

The College of Veterinary Medicine works with clinics and practitioners in Utah and beyond to provide hands-on clinical learning to students in their fourth year of the program. While this distributive model means that Utah State University does not have its own animal hospital, it also lets students graduate from the program with experience in clinics across the region, and it provides unique opportunities for community collaboration.

Willed Body Program
Established in 2012, the college’s willed body program is an opportunity for pets and other animals to contribute to veterinary education and animal welfare after they pass away. Canine, feline, or large animal donations will be respectfully used for educational purposes on the Logan campus.
