At the Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine and Veterinary Medical Center, our mission is to Learn. Discover. Heal. and Protect. We are a trusted leader in animal health and we deliver unparalleled solutions to serve an ever-evolving world. The abundance and variety of animal agriculture and companion animals in Michigan provides the College with one of the largest clinical and diagnostic caseloads in the country. Educational and research opportunities are considerably enhanced by this large caseload. The College also takes seriously its obligation to meet the needs of society in addition to clinical services and education. We have expertise in public health, biomedical and comparative medical research, ecosystem and environmental management, and the multiple facets that compose our complex global food system. The College also supports key animal health programs conducted by both the Michigan Department of Agriculture and the US Department of Agriculture.
