Training Programs for Animal Emergency Response

The NCSU CVM offers a range of training programs for veterinary students, veterinarians and veterinary technicians, the animal sheltering community, emergency management personnel, and animal owners and caregivers.

Our service-learning and experiential-learning programs equip the next generation of veterinarians with the disaster preparedness competencies necessary to respond efficiently and safely in an emergency, collaborating with a wide variety of emergency personnel.
