This facility will only serve the patients of clients who are currently affiliated with Western University of Health Sciences as a: faculty member, student, staff employee.

The purpose of these clinics will be to teach and to train veterinary students, who are in their first two years of the professional curriculum. Each student will see the same patients/clients ~4 times per year for routine physical examination, wellness care, client communications and medical records practice, etc. These facilities are fully-equipped pet wellness care clinics with laboratory, pharmacy, medical imaging, and surgery capabilities.

Computerized veterinary management programs will be in place to accommodate patient care, invoicing, inventory, laboratory and client communication needs. For each patient visit, students will maintain a problem-oriented medical record under the supervision of the attending clinician. Students will generate visit invoices and client instructions

Students will participate in the care of clients and patients to the fullest extent appropriate. The attending clinicians will be supervising all students closely and will determine when or if a student is in need of assistance or substitution. The over-riding instructional philosophy will be repetition and progression from basic/minor procedures to complex/major procedures. It is expected that the students will participate in, assist with, or observe the variety of pet wellness cases that are seen in most general small animal veterinary practices.
