School of Veterinary Medicine
On the campus where modern veterinary medicine was born, where today’s specialties first became practice, the School of Veterinary Medicine (Penn Vet) continues to lead the profession.
Our faculty members are world-class educators and clinicians, as well as formidable scientists and researchers who unlock the secrets of infectious disease; investigate new, revolutionary therapeutics translatable to human health; and innovate across the animal husbandry sector. They, in turn, train a new generation of multifunctional veterinarians—grounded in science and public health—who possess the expertise of biomedical scientists and an understanding of the essential, life-saving role of veterinary medicine within a global context.
