Veterinary students at the University of Florida can choose from a variety of online courses and clinical rotations to explore the field of shelter medicine while earning elective credits, or complete the entire 15-credit Professional Certificate in Shelter Medicine. However you connect with the Shelter Medicine Program, we strive to provide the veterinary leaders of tomorrow with the skills they need to make a difference in the lives of animals and communities.
