Mission
The Hospital is committed to providing the best possible veterinary medical care with compassion and concern for each animal's problem. The Hospital also serves as a vital resource to practicing veterinarians. Faculty members willingly consult with private practitioners in the interest of animal healthcare. OSU's Veterinary Medical Hospital reaches its goals thanks to faculty members who serve as role models, clients who allow the additional time it takes to teach students in the moment, and veterinarians who refer their patients for specialized treatment.
The Boren Veterinary Medical Hospital provides clinical instruction for the students while offering the finest veterinary care for its animal patients. In addition to the hospital, student-centered surgical services for area animal shelters are provided. Rotations during the senior year include not only the departments within the hospital, but also opportunities at the OKC and Tulsa zoos. The Hospital also prides itself on training interns and residents to become highly skilled board certified specialists.
OSU's Veterinary Medical Hospital's mission is to educate tomorrow's veterinarians in:
The art and science of clinical veterinary medicine
The importance of professionalism and ethics in the veterinary profession
The impact of the human-animal bond upon the pet owner
The practicing veterinarian's role in educating the public regarding zoonotic diseases and public health safety issues.

History
The veterinary college is the youngest of Oklahoma State University's colleges. While early attempts to establish a veterinary college by Dr. Lowery L. Lewis were not successful, the Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College School of Veterinary Medicine officially opened its doors in 1948. Dr. Clarence H. McElroy served as the first dean of the college.
On March 1, 1948, the first class was taught by Dr. Duane R. Peterson. He lectured the group of 31 men on the subject of gross anatomy. He would spend the next 38 years teaching anatomy to generations of veterinary students. During the 60th anniversary of the college in 2008, the Duane R. Peterson Anatomy Learning Center would be dedicated in his honor. The first class of 26 Oklahoma A&M veterinarians graduated in May 1951.
The first female to earn a DVM degree at Oklahoma A&M College was Dr. June Iben in 1955. Gradually more and more females would pursue a DVM degree. Female students would outnumber male students for the first time in the college's history with the class of 199034 females to 31 males.
In 1957, Oklahoma A&M College changed its name to Oklahoma State University and the School of Veterinary Medicine became the College of Veterinary Medicine.
In 1974, ground was broken for the Oklahoma Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory and in 1975 the new building was dedicated. The laboratory is designed to serve veterinarians and animal owners by providing diagnostic test results. These tests results can help reduce animal disease and human disease attributable to animals. The lab is also used for teaching the next generation of veterinarians and for conducting research.
In 1981 the Boren Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital was completed. The hospital treats all speciescompanion animals, horses, cows, camelids and exotic pets.
In 2004, the college changed its name to the Oklahoma State University Center for Veterinary Health Sciences.
In 2019, the college returned to its former moniker, the College of Veterinary Medicine. The CVM encompasses the College of Veterinary Medicine, the Oklahoma Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory, the Boren Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, the CVM Ranch, the Equine Research Park and other laboratories located within its facilities.
