College of Veterinary Medicine updates operating procedures
Mississippi State University College of Veterinary Medicine administration continues to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and implement plans developed by the COVID-19 Task Force to mitigate its impact on the college’s students, faculty, staff and clients.
After discussion and consultation with MSU leaders and colleagues from other veterinary colleges, we have made the decision to relieve CVM students from their clinical obligations beginning at 5 p.m. Friday [March 27] until April 13. In an effort to continue our core values of teaching, research and service, clinical rotations will continue to deliver clinical rounds, topic rounds and other educational experiences for students online.
During this time, the Animal Health Center will remain open to provide emergency and essential care to our community members and their animals.
Prior to April 13, MSU CVM administration will reassess the situation to determine the next course of action. As always, the care of our patients and the safety and health of our students, faculty, staff and clients are top priorities.
