Students obtain some veterinary experience through rotations at the UC Davis Veterinary Medicine Teaching Hospital. Rotations may include Community Medicine, Small Animal Surgery, Equine Medicine, Equine Surgery, CAPE (Exotics), Behavior, Dermatology, Ophthalmology, and more. Additionally, professionals in, but not limited to, the veterinary medicine field present on their specialties and career paths.

The program runs for the entire five weeks, Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. Each day follows the same schedule, with morning clinical rotations and afternoon lectures, presentations, and/or workshops.
