General Information About Preceptorships

Preceptorships

Missouri students are encouraged to use free blocks for preceptorships to increase exposure to veterinary practice and to meet the requirements of the Missouri Veterinary Medical Practice Act. The University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine does not have the authority to approve the use of student free block time or the veterinarians with whom they gain experience for the hours required by the state of Missouri Veterinary Medical Board.

Evaluated preceptorships:

  1. You must schedule your preceptorship with the Office for Student Affairs (Barb Calvin calvinbl@missouri.edu ) at least the block before you begin (if you are going in block 3 the preceptorship must be on your schedule before block 2 ends).
  2. You need four weeks of evaluated preceptorship to graduate – the minimum time spent at a location is 2 weeks.  One week equals at least 5 days and 40 hours with no more than 12 hours worked each day.
  3. An Affiliation Agreement must be in place with the business/ clinic that will be hosting you. The Office for Student Affairs needs at least 6-8 weeks to get this in place. A preceptorship will not be added to your schedule until we have a completed Affiliation Agreement.
  4. These are the forms to fill out and return before you leave for an evaluated preceptorship:
    • University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine Student Affiliation Confidentiality Agreement and Release
    • Contact Information Form
    • PPE Form
  5. You must keep a log of the procedures you observe and/or take part in and the number of hours worked while you are away. The supervising veterinarian must sign the log at the end of the preceptorship.  The Office for Student Affairs will need a copy of this upon your return.
  6. You will be required to complete an evaluation of the practice when the preceptorship concludes.
  7. The evaluated preceptorship cannot be completed with a family member.

Preceptorship requirements and forms required by the Missouri State Veterinary Medical Board can be found at their website: http://pr.mo.gov/veterinarian.asp

The level of supervision required by preceptors is detailed at: http://pr.mo.gov/boards/veterinary/VetSupervisionChart.pdf

Giving to the MU College of Veterinary Medicine

Giving to the College of Veterinary MedicineThe MU College of Veterinary Medicine is Missouri’s only institution that confers the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. Thank you for exploring how you can partner with us to make a positive difference in the lives of animals and people.

Whether your interest in supporting our mission to teach, heal, discover and serve is inspired by care your pet received, the desire to help less fortunate animals and their families, an interest in helping the next generation of veterinarians pursue their dreams, or the wish to be a part of a medical breakthrough, we are grateful for your thoughtful consideration. We have many programs that will benefit from additional financial support.

Learn more about how your gift can help the College of Veterinary Medicine.

BIOMED Online

In addition to the four-year professional curriculum leading to the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree, the college offers a variety of online (BIOMED) courses. Courses serve as electives for other degree programs, a component to the online health science and bachelor of general studies degrees, as partial requirements in the MU Pre-veterinary Medicine Scholars Program, and to earn either a thesis or non-thesis master’s degree. BIOMED courses are also recommended electives in meeting the requirements to apply for a DVM program.
