Gain appropriate exposure to clinical case load and scholarly activity, to prepare you for and meet the assessment criteria for a specialist clinical qualification in your chosen field.

Research overview

Senior Clinical Training Scholars are registered on a three or four year Master of Veterinary Surgery (MVS) programme. The programme provides appropriate exposure to clinical case load and scholarly activity to ensure that candidates are prepared for and meet the criteria for assessment for the specialist clinical qualification in their field.

There are three elements of the MVS course:

• Generic training to support the development of personal and professional skills associated with clinical practice and research
• Clinical training allowing the student to gain comprehensive experience in all aspects of the diagnosis, treatment and care of patients in their chosen area of speciality.
• Clinical research will be conducted, requiring the design and execution of a research project in their chosen area of speciality

Research facilities

Our teaching building comprises a lecture theatre, large seminar room, teaching laboratories and a number of small-group teaching rooms, together with staff offices and research facilities including generic laboratories and specialist facilities such as anaerobic/microbiology, RNA and radioisotope laboratories.

Our clinical building includes a large anatomy laboratory, surgery suite, teaching laboratories, seminar rooms, a large clinical skills laboratory and other clinical skills rooms together with animal facilities.
