More Veterinary Students Coming To WTAMU

West Texas A&M will soon have more Veterinary students coming to campus.

With The Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences completing a pivotal step in the development of its 2+2 veterinary program, veterinary students will be able to complete the first two years of their four-year veterinary curriculum at WT.

Dr. Walter Wendler, WT president said “We are pleased that the American Veterinary Medical Association Council on Education sees the same potential in our 2+2 program that we do.” ”Bringing excellent veterinary faculty and resources to the Texas Panhandle area addresses critical needs and opens new opportunities for students in the Texas Panhandle to become Aggie veterinarians.”

Every year after, there will be two students at one time cycling through the Canyon location before their third year at the College of Veterinary Medicine in College Station, with the option of returning to Canyon for a portion of their fourth-year clinical rotations.
