The Doctor of Veterinary Clinical Science is our veterinary residency program, designed to prepare already qualified veterinarians to meet the credentials for specialist certification. It is designed to lead to careers as a specialist veterinarian, provided you meet all other requirements. The doctorate will take you 3.5 years to complete full-time. It combines advanced coursework with clinical training and a research-based 50,000-word thesis. The doctorate is intended to introduce you to all aspects of specialist practice. You will undertake clinical work in a diagnostic laboratory or a veterinary teaching hospital to develop your clinical skills to specialist level. This work will also count towards the coursework part of the degree. The research thesis will provide a path to clinical or research careers with an evidence-based focus. These can include roles in public health agencies, universities or research centres.
