Our Strategic Plan and Future Horizon 2017-2027 outlines an ambitious blueprint for

development and growth, with a focus on one purpose: to be a creative force for current and

future generations. We are clear about our two core goals: to educate free thinkers who thrive in society and are

sought after by employers; and, to provide life changing solutions for the world’s big challenges through our outstanding translational research and innovative practice.

The School of Veterinary Medicine is responsible for the training of veterinary science graduates and the degree program has received international accreditation. A central part of the training is a development of core clinical competencies and as part of this process veterinary science students undertake training in our hospital, clinics and clinical services.

Equine medicine is a key discipline within the School of Veterinary Medicine. The discipline also contributes to research in equine medicine, training of equine medicine residents (currently ACVIM-LA) and supports a clinical service for The Animal Hospital and externally to the community of Western Australia.
