About the department
The Department of Clinical Sciences offers a graduate program leading to the Master of Science (Veterinary Biomedical Science) degree. Graduate work in clinical sciences may be pursued in several fields of specialization including agricultural practice, anesthesiology, cardiology, equine medicine and surgery, oncology, exotic and wildlife medicine, ophthalmology, radiology, small animal medicine, small animal surgery, and theriogenology. The department, along with the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, has modern facilities and equipment for both basic and applied studies.
The primary goal of graduate study programs in clinical medicine is to prepare students for careers in teaching and research in a clinical specialty area. After completing graduate work, the student will be better prepared to conduct research both independently and as a team member. Adequate training in planning research projects and writing research proposals will give the student the ability to function with teams of scientists from the biomedical field. The student’s experience in clinical teaching and literature study will form the basis for development of future teaching programs within his or her discipline.
A residency program designed to prepare and qualify a veterinarian for specialty boards recognized by the AVMA is usually combined with the graduate program. While a graduate program can be accomplished in a shorter period of time, the duration of combined programs is usually three years. This reflects the minimum time required to satisfy the objectives of each program. Details of an individual residency program can be obtained from the Director of KSU, Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital. An individually tailored graduate program concurrent with professional veterinary school or for non-DVM applicants can be arranged on an individual basis.
Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital
The KSU-Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital (KSU-VMTH) is equipped for diagnosis and treatment of animal disease and for instruction of veterinary students, house officers, and postgraduate veterinarians.
The hospital has a capacity of 82 large animal patients and 150 small animal patients. Clinical faculty accompanied by students provide clinical veterinary service to clients in the local community, for clients of referring veterinarians from an eight-state region, and on local and regional farms and ranches. In addition to caring for sick animals, they provide preventative medical services and consultation on production medicine and management.
Fourth-year students are active participants in the hospital and clinical services. Students are regularly assigned on a rotation basis during the year to various specialists on the clinical and pathology staffs.
The department presents courses in medicine, surgery, oncology, dermatalogy, exotics, cardiology, ophthalmology, theriogenology, and other clinical specialties to veterinary students and post-DVM trainees.
Admission Requirements
Admission requirements include holding a doctor of veterinary medicine degree or its equivalent. Applicants for graduate study must have a minimum grade average of B. Applicants currently enrolled in the professional veterinary curriculum or those holding a baccalaureate degree will be considered on an individual basis.
A student who has less than a B average, based on individual merit, may be admitted on probationary status. Full standing is attained automatically upon completion of at least 9 hours of course work for graduate credit with grade of B or better and upon the removal of any deficiency which was specified at the time of admission. International students must have a health certificate and an acceptable score on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).
Additionally, international students must be able to demonstrate proficiency in written and oral English to the Departmental Graduate Committee. Qualifications of students must be approved, in writing, by the Departmental Graduate Committee prior to recommending acceptance in to graduate studies to the department head.
A graduate student may be denied continued enrollment in the university in case of:
- Failure to satisfy conditions necessary for removal of probationary status.
- The accumulation of 6 or more semester hours of work with grades less than B, or grade point average less than 3.0.
- Demonstrable lack of diligence in meeting published degree requirements.
- Failure to acquire mastery of the methodology and content of one’s field sufficient to complete a successful thesis.
Application for admission
Department-sponsored postgraduate residencies normally start each year in June and are advertised in the American Association of Veterinary Clinicians Directory of Intern Matching Program and Residencies. Three letters of recommendations, AAVC application, undergraduate and professional transcripts, letter of interest, and a completed Graduate School Application and Information Blank should be filed with the department head for consideration by the Graduate Committee.
General requirements
Participation in the teaching program is considered to be part of graduate education. The extent of the participation will be to a level that is deemed of value for each particular student. A certain amount of advanced clinical training is required of graduate students. This will usually be conducted in the KSU Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital.
