Each summer, as part of the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine's residency program, the Cornell University Hospital for Animals welcomes a new group of outstanding veterinarians to serve as hospital residents across many of our services. These residents will be developing the highest level of clinical proficiency in their chosen specialties, allowing them to meet board requirements while also gaining experience in professional veterinary medical education and in teaching. Referring veterinarians and clients will get a chance to interface with many of these new faces throughout the year.
