Areas of Excellence

An equine area of excellence is a program within the Equine Health Program (EHP) that encompasses clinical service, research, and teaching. Clinical service can be related to work in the NCSU-CVM Equine Hospital for referring veterinarians and their clients or can occur in the hospital of a requesting veterinarian. Research can be examining hospital data retrospectively or prospectively or doing basic studies. Teaching can be lecturing and working with veterinary students in the clinics, working with house officers and post-graduate students, or developing training programs in the Equine Hospital or in out-reach programs for practicing veterinarians.

Currently we have identified four programs with their leaders that fit the definition of areas of excellence:

Needs of the EHP through the Gallop of Honor

What is the Gallop of Honor? The Gallop of Honor is a fund within the North Carolina Veterinary Medical Foundation (NCVMF/GOH) that accepts any donations toward equine health within the College of Veterinary Medicine. The money can be targeted toward overall management of the EHP program via the horse shoes program, where a donor can honor a person or horse in the Bronze ($250), Silver ($500) or Gold ($1000) categories. Donations can be also targeted toward personnel or specific projects.Our College is very young compared to most of the Veterinary Colleges in America. So our reputation is still evolving. Our primary goal is to make the NCSU-CVM Equine Health Program as strong as it can be to give the horses in our region the best health care possible. Perhaps ways we diagnose or treat our own horses can spill over to help horses in other regions. To make this goal of excellence come to fruition, our single biggest need is trained personnel: from laboratory technicians, post-graduate students, various professorships and even endowed Chairs of each of the above areas of excellence. When we have sufficient salaries for a sufficient number of people, then the hospital care and research becomes seamless in as many areas as possible.Our second major area of need is money donated for projects that can be done in any of the four areas of excellence. This gives an interested person an opportunity to give to a specific area of health care that they have a personal interest.

Circle Of Success

The goal of the Circle of Success begins with Equine Practitioners and ends with new successful veterinarians helping deliver horse health. Young people interested in veterinary medicine should contact their Veterinarians. As relationships develop mentoring can take place and encourage the young student to visit the College of Veterinary Medicine. The Veterinarian is encouraged to contact a CVM Faculty person and encourage co-mentoring that might continue throughout their four years of Veterinary College. The key is to find and encourage talented young people with the horse and medical intuitive shells that will make them excellent equine veterinarians.

Scholarships like the North Carolina Hunter Jumper Association (NCHJA) and Raleigh Spring Premiere Horse Show, the RB Terry Horse Racing and Fritz & Softy scholarships along with other potential financial aids are available. If you know of an individual or organization who would like to invest in an equine oriented veterinary student development have them contact us. Reducing student debt is the goal of these scholarships. Finally the more students know about equine practice with it's enjoyment and rigors helping horses and their owners the better chance they will become dedicated equine clincians!
