'''ABOUT THE FACULTY OF VETERINARY SCIENCES'''
'''History'''
Veterinary medicine was primarily founded in the City of Concepción in 1972, under tuition of the Biology Institute attached to its own School, the School of Veterinary Medicine. Later in 1973 it was moved to the Chillán campus where the administrative structure was changed, giving rise to the Department of Veterinary Medicine as part of the Faculty of Agricultural and Forestry Sciences.
The Department of Veterinary Medicine later combined with the Faculty of Agricultural and Forestry Sciences and the Faculty was then known as “Faculty of Agronomic, Veterinary and Forestry Sciences”. Thereafter, Agricultural Engineering career was created at the Chillán campus and the Forestry Engineering was moved to Concepción campus. In 1993 the Faculty of Agronomic, Veterinary and Forestry Sciences was transformed into the faculties that currently belong to the Chillán campus; Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Faculty of Agronomy and Faculty of Agricultural Enginery.
In 2002 the Veterinary Clinical Hospital was founded at the Chillán campus. Subsequently the Faculty (of Veterinary Medicine) changed its name to Faculty of Veterinary Sciences which then allowed for the creation of the Veterinary Medicine career in the City of Concepción in 2004. In 2007, UdeC Veterinary Clinic was founded at the Concepción campus.
