Veterinary Medical Extension and Continuing Education

The mission of the Department of Veterinary Medical Extension and Continuing Education is twofold: The first is to enhance the professional competence of veterinarians, thus improving the quality of veterinary medical services and animal care. The second is to acquaint the animal owning public with the benefits of veterinary medical services and the advantages of developing a veterinary/client/patient relationship. These objectives are accomplished by providing educational programs in conjunction with College faculty and the University community that build partnerships between livestock producers, companion animal owners, veterinarians, allied industry and the University of Missouri. 

Officers are elected by the alumni. The Associate Dean of Student and Alumni Affairs is a permanent member We offer dynamic programs in: Cell and Molecular of the Board of the Alumni Organization.
