Oregon State College of Veterinary Medicine started out as a large animal facility. Veterinary students traveled to Washington State College of Veterinary Medicine for their small animal education. That was over twenty years ago. Now OSU has been transformed into a small and large animal state-of-the-art veterinary teaching hospital. I headed back for my 20-year reunion and took a behind-the-scenes tour.

Questions about veterinary schools and veterinary technology programs are common on this site. Each school has different strengths and weaknesses. Schools change over time, too. I attended my veterinary class reunion and toured Oregon State College of Veterinary Medicine. We were impressed at the changes involved with converting from a large animal only facility to a high-tech large and small animal veterinary hospital.
