Research

The department conducts high-quality clinical veterinary research. The research is conducted on the animal species horse, cattle, pig, dog, cat and rodent. The focus is on animal diseases, animal health and animal welfare in both the individual animal and animal populations, but the animals are also used as models for human diseases.

Education

At the Department of Clinical Sciences, we provide courses in individual and population-based clinical veterinary medicine for students in the veterinary program and the veterinary nurse program.
