College History The College of Veterinary Medicine was founded in 1976. The
programs of study in the college last for five years leading to the award of
a bachelor's degree in veterinary medicine and surgery (BVMS). The
programs offer theoretical, practical and clinical experiences in different
aspects of veterinary medicine and surgery. The graduated veterinarians
are expected to serve the community with regards to animal health,
welfare and production as well as issues of the environment and public
health. Rich varied and extensive livestock production in Mosul and its
surroundings and referrals from nearby areas provide a wealth of clinical
material for professional education and research in veterinary medicine
and surgery.
Mission of the College The primary instructional mission of the College of Veterinary
Medicine is the education of veterinary medical students in a variety of
disciplines through the seven departments of the college. The clinical
services of the college include diagnosis and management of animal
diseases, advising livestock owners and farmers the best ways of
managing livestock industry, raising animals and improving the quality of
production and maintaining health of the animal. Continuing education
programs further stress these points by offering short courses to graduate
veterinarians.
The mission of graduate instruction involves a wide variety of
disciplines in all the departments of the college. The research and
education of graduate students are closely related to the wide interests
and mission of research of the faculty members of the college. The
requirements of teaching and research prompted the college to develop a
blend of basic science and clinically oriented faculty. Maintenance of
high quality of teaching and research as well as diagnostic activities
demand highest standards of training, laboratory experience and
continuing education of the faculty. Basic and applied researches are
important for the diagnosis and control of animal and human diseases
especially from zoonotic diseases point of view.
The College of Veterinary Medicine is dedicated to innovation and
excellence in teaching and research, and offers diagnostic and therapeutic
services to improve animal health, welfare, productivity as well as human
health by controlling zoonotic diseases. The college is committed to a
clean environment and to be recognized for high standards of services
and disseminate scientific knowledge in veterinary medicine, animal
production, public health and zoonotic diseases. The college values
professionalism, integrity, clinical skills, teaching skills, creativity and
excellence in basic and applied research.
