Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine
The University of Maryland, College Park, is one of three campuses of this professional veterinary college
. VMRCVM offers a four-year program leading to a doctorate of veterinary medicine (D.V.M.) degree in the traditional fields of diagnosing, preventing and treating diseases of food, companion and sporting animals.
