The College of Veterinary Medicine is an internationally recognized institution of public health, biomedical research, and veterinary medicine education. It is one of 30 veterinary colleges in the country, and one of only three in the Northeastern United States.[3] The core mission of the college is to advance the health and well-being of animals and people through education, research, and public service.[14]
Doctor of veterinary medicine (D.V.M.) program: The D.V.M. program provides student instruction in the biological basis of medicine, training in primary and referral veterinary care in the Cornell University Hospital for Animals, and instructed practice in the Small Animal Community Practice. Direct access to numerous innovative dairy farms in the upstate New York region, as well as the Cornell Dairy Barn, facilitate training in food animal medicine.
Master's degree programs: The college houses a Master of Public Health (M.P.H.) Program and a Master of Professional Studies (M.P.S.) Program. The M.P.H. Program prepares students through training on diverse public health issues at municipal, state, national, and international levels. The M.P.S. Program is designed for working individuals who seek to enhance their careers with specialized professional training in veterinary parasitology.
Ph.D. and research programs: The Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine's Biomedical and Biological Sciences Program is an interdisciplinary program that trains students in basic, clinical, and translational life sciences research alongside faculty mentors and other research professionals. It has a Ph.D. track and a combined Ph.D. and D.V.M. track.
Other professional training: The Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine regularly hires postdoctoral associates in its departments, centers, and institutes. The Cornell University Hospital for Animals additionally offers preceptorship training for licensed veterinary technician students, including a wildlife preceptorship.[15]

The college comprises six academic departments, six centers, and four institutes.[17]
College founders taught and practiced veterinary medicine on Cornell's campus as early as 1896 and multiple clinical spaces were built over the years.[18] Currently, the Cornell University Hospital for Animals is a collection of seven hospitals in New York and Connecticut.[19]
The current Ithaca space was built in 1996,[4] and houses three of Cornell's animal hospitals: The Companion Animal Hospital, the Cornell Equine Hospital, and the Nemo Farm Animal Hospital. It's also the home of the hospital's Ambulatory Service, which makes on-site visits to dairies and farms throughout the region. The college opened Cornell's Small Animal Community Practice next door in 2018,[20] which enables students to learn business and management skills, and is where Maddie's ® Shelter Medicine Program at Cornell University primarily operates.
Also in Ithaca is the college's Janet L. Swanson Wildlife hospital, located in a nearby facility next to the Baker Institute for Animal Health and the Cornell Feline Health Center. Another clinical space near campus is the Cornell Equine Park, which primarily functions as a learning lab for veterinary students and researchers interested in theriogenology and/or sports medicine and rehabilitation.
In 2011, the college opened its first satellite hospital: Cornell University Veterinary Specialists, located in Stamford, Connecticut.[21] This was followed in 2014 by the second satellite hospital: Cornell Ruffian Equine Specialists in Belmont, New York.[22]
In 2015 and 2016, some controversy at the college surrounded clinician care.[23][24]
According to the college's most recent annual report, the Cornell University Hospital for Animals saw 30,083 cases in fiscal year 2021. Canine patients were the most common at 20,056 cases, followed by 4,761 feline cases; 1,429 equine cases; 1,319 avian and wildlife cases; 143 bovine cases; 1,659 cases of all other large animals; and 3,072 cases of all other small animals.[25]
