Introduction
The College provides the animal-owning public with veterinary medical services in 18 specialty clinics through its Veterinary Hospital.[2] About 23,000 cases—primarily companion animals and horses—are diagnosed and treated in the Randall B. Terry, Jr. Companion Animal Veterinary Medical Center, Veterinary Health and Wellness Center, and Equine and Farm Veterinary Hospital & Field Services each year. Hospital clinicians have pioneered clinical canine bone marrow transplants and osseointegrated surgical implants for customized prosthetic limbs for dogs and cats.
History
Education
Located on NC State University Centennial Biomedical Campus (part of the Centennial Campus complex), the College has three departments: Department of Clinical Sciences,[3] Department of Molecular Biomedical Sciences,[4] and the Department of Population Health & Pathobiology.[5] The College involves some 155 faculty, 400 staff members,and it enrolls more than 300 Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) students, 75 graduate students, and 75 interns and residents.
Academic degrees offered by the college include:
Doctor of Veterinary Medicine Master of Science/Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Biomedical Sciences, Fisheries & Wildlife, Immunology, Physiology Master of Veterinary Public Health Master of Specialized Veterinary Medicine Combined DVM/MBA Combined DVM/PhD
The College embraces the One Health philosophy[6]—the idea that the convergence of people, wild and domestic animals, and our global environment has created a dynamic in which the health of each group is inextricably interconnected and relies on a common pool of medical and scientific knowledge. The One Health concept recognizes that the integration of human medicine and veterinary medicine will improve the lives of all species.
There are six main focus areas in the College: companion animal medicine, food supply medicine, biomedical research, ecosystem health, equine medicine, and animal welfare.[7] Through these areas, the College prepares the next generation of veterinarians and veterinarian scientists, conducts bench and clinical research to support animal and human health, addresses ecosystem and public health issues, helps protects the U.S. food supply, and promotes an appreciation of the changing animal-human bond.
The College is currently ranked third by the U.S. News & World Report among the 28 colleges of veterinary medicine in the U.S.[8]
Research
The overall goal of the College's research program is to provide solutions to problems of particular importance to North Carolina and to address problems of importance to society at large.[9]
A component of these research activities, the Center for Comparative Medicine and Translational Research (CCMTR) is a community of more than 100 scientists who are involved in collaborative studies with government, private, and other academic researchers to advance the knowledge and practical applications that improve animal and human health. The CCMTR has eight research cores—allergic diseases, biostatistics,clinical genomics, comparative neurobiology,emerging and zoonotic diseases, mucosa pathophysiology, oncology, and stem cells[10]—and focuses on taking knowledge from the laboratory to patient bedside, with an emphasis on diseases common to animals and humans.
