The MU Veterinary Health Center is a leader in animal disease diagnosis, patient care and education. Individuals and corporations from all over the world are making a difference every day by providing support for our facilities, programs, students and faculty.
MU is a national leader in comparative medicine, in which researchers collaborate by sharing discoveries, innovations, and treatments for animals and humans. For more than four decades, the National Institutes of Health has continuously funded comparative medicine research at the University of Missouri. The College of Veterinary Medicine has been and continues to be an essential partner in this research.
The Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory is the only nationally accredited diagnostic laboratory in Missouri and one of only five in the Midwest. It handles more than 51,000 diagnostic cases a year and serves all of Missouri’s 114 counties and surrounding states by performing approximately 167,000 diagnostic tests annually. The facility supports toxicology, histopathology, serology, bacteriology, molecular biology and virology diagnostic laboratories. It also provides the opportunity for veterinary medical students to receive instruction in diagnostic laboratory medicine.
The Department of Veterinary Medicine and Surgery is the academic home of the Veterinary Health Center. Our mission is to develop and disseminate knowledge to improve the health and well-being of animals and people through instruction, innovative research, service and leadership.
The Veterinary Health Center provides a wide range of clinical services on the MU campus, and the Veterinary Health Center at Wentzville provides diagnostic services, radiation therapy, clinical trials and dermatology services in the St. Louis area.
