Postgraduate programs leading to the Master of Veterinary Science degree and to a general Postgraduate Diploma in Veterinary Medicine are offered within the Western College of Veterinary Medicine (W.C.V.M.). These are in addition to diploma, M.Sc. and Ph.D. programs offered by departments according to the requirements as outlined by the College of Graduate Studies and Research. The M.Vet.Sc. program is currently offered by the Departments of Large Animal Clinical Sciences, Small Animal Clinical Sciences, Veterinary Microbiology, Veterinary Pathology and Veterinary Biomedical Sciences. The Postgraduate Diploma in Veterinary Medicine is offered by the W.C.V.M. through the Section of Continuing Veterinary Education.
Postgraduate Diploma Programs (P.G.D.) in Veterinary Medicine
In addition to the standard Postgraduate Diploma programs offered by several departments in the W.C.V.M., a general Postgraduate Diploma in Veterinary Medicine is offered. It is intended to meet the requirements of those veterinarians with a desire and need for postgraduate training in veterinary medicine, which is not restricted to a specialized area or discipline. The academic requirements are those specified under the section "Requirements for Post Graduate Diplomas" In addition, a candidate must hold a D.V.M. or its equivalent. Certain departments have additional requirements. The unique feature of the program is that it is offered by the Western College of Veterinary Medicine instead of a single department, with the administration assigned to its Continuing Veterinary Education Section. Courses taken under this program are at the graduate level and are usually offered during Spring and Summer Session to facilitate attendance. Thus the requirements for the diploma may potentially be met by attendance at five summer sessions. Additionally, with the permission of the College of Graduate Studies and Research, credit may be given for up to 12 credit units taken at other universities. For further information on this program contact the Continuing Veterinary Education Section, Tel: 306-966-7268.
