Ross Vet’s preclinical DVM curriculum consists of seven semesters of specifically prescribed coursework. The clinical curriculum consists of three semesters of clinical training at an AVMA-accredited* school of veterinary medicine in the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, or New Zealand.
The accelerated DVM program is designed to be completed in 10 semesters, or 3.25 years. The first 2.25 years are spent completing preclinical curriculum on our campus in St. Kitts. After that, students undergo one year of clinical application at one of our AVMA-accredited affiliate schools.
Ross Vet offers a one-semester Veterinary Preparatory (Vet Prep) program for students who may benefit from specific courses that will enhance the likelihood of their success in veterinary school.

“Having access to so many different types of animals on the island during my vet school career was the best thing that could have happened. And I think it just broadens our horizon of being doctors and not just doing small animal or just doing large animal. We had to do both, and I loved it.”
