Every year, ENVT’s clinics handle around 20,000 animal cases and perform over 55,000 medical or surgical acts.

All clinicians (academics, hospital practitioners, assistants or interns, as well as nurses and technicians, secretaries and hospital agents) work daily to :

• Take care of the pets that are entrusted to them;
• Dispense clinical teaching to the school’s students from year 3 onwards.

These clinical players guarantee the quality of both the care provided to animals and the training of students, interns and residents. They all ensure that animals are given all the attention they deserve, and receive adapated care in accordance with state-of-the-art knowledge in veterinary medicine; they also provide future graduates with top quality training.

The university hospital has implemented a quality policy including criteria such as veterinary care, customers’ reception, competences of the clinical staff, equipment as well as hygiene and maintenance of the premises (treatment areas, operating theaters and hospitalization areas).

Each clinic has its own organization consistent with its teaching and service objectives.
