■ What is Veterinary Medicine?

Veterinary medicine is the branch of science that deals with the application of medical, diagnostic and therapeutic principles pets, and domestic, wild life and livestock animals. Veterinary medicine helps human health through the careful monitoring of livestock, companion animals, and wildlife health. Modern veterinarians serve the needs of the public in a variety of significant ways: prevention of disease in animals and humans, enhancement of animal agriculture and wildlife management, humane health care of animals, research of diseases of animals and provision of wholesome food.

■ College of Veterinary Medicine

The College of Veterinary Medicine exists to better the health and welfare of animals and humans. Since 1952, the Department of Veterinary Medicine has been serving the public through teaching, research and service programs benefiting animal health, public health, and environmental health in Jeonnam province. It became the College of Veterinary Medicine in 1988 when it separated from the College of Agriculture.

The College of Veterinary Medicine set up an accord in 1995 with Murdoch University, located in Australia, Since then, the College has built similar relationships with Universidad Austral de Chile (Chile), and Nippon Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science (Japan), and has had professor and student exchange programs and common research projects with these institutions.

The college trains the next generation of small and large animal veterinarians as it develops leaders in public health, disease control, food safety, environmental protection, biotechnology, higher education, and research.

The faculty and staff of the college are committed to exceptional teaching, research, and patient care. Many changes will shape the future of veterinary medical education and veterinary medicine in the future.
