SGUSVM and Cornell University

College of Veterinary Medicine Partner

A new partnership has been forged between Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine and the St. George’s University School of Veterinary Medicine, which allows SGUSVM students the opportunity to perform their fourth year clinical rotations at Cornell. “The partnership with St. George’s University School of Veterinary Medicine presents a wonderful opportunity for Cornell University to participate in the education of these bright and committed students,” said Michael I. Kotlikoff, the Austin O. Hooey Dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine. “The next generation of veterinarians will need to be dedicated, passionate, and talented, and we look forward to helping St. George’s students to assume a leadership role in society and our profession.”

Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine was established in 1894, and is recognized internationally as a leader in public health, biomedical research, animal medicine and veterinary medical education. It is consistently ranked at the top of the U.S. News and World Report’s list of “America’s Best Graduate Schools.” As part of the State University of New York at Cornell University, the College is located on the Cornell campus in Ithaca, N.Y., and is one of only three veterinary medical colleges in the Northeast.

St. George’s University’s partnership with Cornell expands the University’s total number of veterinary medical college affiliates to 29, with 23 of the 28 U.S. schools now offering clinical training for St. George’s students. This affiliation further enhances the University’s mission to provide an internationally based veterinary medical education with worldwide practice application through superior instructional programs, public service and clinical research exposure.
