[QUOTE="simme, post: 1852485, member: 40418"] Clemson is in the process of building a vet school. They hope to accept students in the fall of 2026, but that date is not certain. The Clemson study was done by the former dean and a former officer of Lincoln Memorial vet school. So, it will be structured similar. No teaching hospital. No live animals on site. Only classrooms and labs. Learn all the ....ology courses and do the labs on campus. The school will contract with vet clinics in SC and surrounding states for the clinical rotations where the students have hands-on experience - diagnosis, treatment plans, procedures, etc. The school will provide some compensation to the clinics for their efforts. The vets at the clinics will have to invest their time in "training" on the expectations, plans, procedures and paperwork for the student training they provide. I wonder how consistent that clinical instruction and experience will be. I expect there will be a lot of diversity in the actual amount of hands-on that a student gets at these private practices as well as the quality of that experience. Can the vet school find enough vet clinics that have the facilities, patients, patience, and willingness to provide adequate clinical training for 100 students per year? Then there is the issue of living and travel expenses for the students as they travel to various clinics for a few weeks at each one. Clemson's budget for the new vet school is $285 million. And no teaching hospital included. Money don't seem to go far these days. I read that a conventional vet school with a teaching hospital would have been over $500 million. I understand that there are 5 new vet schools in the planning stages in the US and all of them based on this model. [/QUOTE]
