Future of Veterinary Teaching Hospitals Veterinary Teaching Hospital Missions The unique challenge of the Veterinary Teaching Hospital is to: Remain financially viable while enabling teaching and research, all the while providing veterinary medical services to the public. Jim Lloyd History Internships began in 1950-60’s, residencies in 1960-70’s. Board certification became the norm for entry level clinical faculty positions in the 1970-80’s Clinical Departments began to divide responsibilities into academic hospital, and Hospital Directors began to be hired in the 1980-90’s Veterinary Colleges became more dependent on hospital income in 1990-2000’s.
