===Hospitals===
Students of the Virginia–Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine can gain veterinary experience by working in one of the college’s hospitals: the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, which comprises the Small Animal Hospital and the Henry T. Peters Large Animal Hospital, or the Marion duPont Scott Equine Medical Center.
The Marion DuPont Scott Equine Medical Center is a full-service equine hospital located in Leesburg, Virginia, that offers advanced specialty care, 24-hour emergency treatment and diagnostic services for all ages and breeds of horses. The center, which opened in 1984, has board-certified veterinarians in anesthesia, internal medicine, and surgery, as well as veterinarians in residency training programs and licensed veterinary technicians. Since the center’s inception, faculty members have played a key role in the development of both Marquis, the first FDA-approved treatment for equine protozoal myelitis, and GastroGard, a treatment for gastric ulcers, as well as advances in laser surgery joint disease, and treatments for lameness, colic, tumors, tendon and ligament injury, and antibiotic therapy.

===Future Plans===
The college opened a $10.5 million, 16,000-square-foot Infectious Disease Research Facility in November 2011 and plans to complete a $14.1 million, 30,000-square-foot Veterinary Medicine Instruction Addition in the fall of 2012. Located on the Blacksburg campus, both facilities connect to the main VMRCVM building.<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia%E2%80%93Maryland_Regional_College_of_Veterinary_Medicine</ref>
What's more, the college has plans for a 90,000-square-foot Translational Medicine Building, which will expand the Veterinary Teaching Hospital and create additional research and training spaces. The new facility will be a collaboration with the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and the College of Science at Virginia Tech.
Starting with the Class of 2016, VMRCVM expanded the number of students in its DVM program. Of the 120 available spots, 50 are reserved for Virginia residents and 30 for Maryland residents. The remaining spots are for at-large applications and include space for up to six West Virginia residents under a new agreement.<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia%E2%80%93Maryland_Regional_College_of_Veterinary_Medicine</ref>
