Part
of the college's purpose is to provide post-DVM educational
opportunities in the form of residencies and internships. The UT
residency and internship programs emphasize post-DVM clinical education.
Internships are one-year programs offering veterinarians broad-based
clinical exposure to areas that include surgery, medicine, radiology,
emergency medicine, ophthalmology, neurology, dermatology, intensive
care, ambulatory services, theriogenology and anesthesia. Residents
participate in a three-year program, specializing in a particular
clinical area. The UT College of Veterinary Medicine ranks very high
among all U.S. veterinary schools nationally for residency programs,
based on the number of resident applicants stating a preference for a
particular institution. Internships and residencies are offered in the
following areas
