The Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital (VMTH)
of Texas A&M's College of Veterinary Medicine was established
in 1915 Today, the VMTH generates approximately $12.78 million annually, or 92% of the facility's operating budget, from clinical services offered to client animals brought in for diagnosis and treatment. The Hospital also benefits from state appropriations to the CVM for faculty salaries, utilities, grounds maintenance, building maintenance and other infrastructure maintenance costs. In recent years, the Hospital has served animals referred from approximately 2,500 veterinarians in 164 of Texas's 254 counties and 31 of the 50 United States. The Small Animal Clinic was built in 1981 The oldest building in the VMTH complex is Bldg. 508, which was constructed in 1953. The building has been partially remodeled to accommodate a large classroom, a cafeteria and the current warehouse and receiving area. A equine pavilion has been built to provide much-needed stall space for the equine program. The VMTH has a growing caseload which totaled nearly 21,600 cases
in the fiscal year ending August 31, 2007 (14,493 small animal
cases and 7,108 large animal cases). With a multidisciplinary
faculty of over 145 veterinarians, a support staff of more
than 200 budgeted personnel and over 100 part-time wage personnel in a variety of disciplines, the Hospital is
able to offer an extensive range of specialized services for large
and small animals, including: |
