   Students complete the seven-semester pre-clinical curriculum comprised of classroom learning and early hands-on animal interaction on our St. Kitts campus.
2. AVMA-Accredited Clinical Affiliate – Semesters 8-10
   The successful completion of the pre-clinical curriculum is followed by a three-semester clinical year at one of our 32 AVMA-accredited affiliate veterinary schools, including the University of Saskatchewan. During this year, you will take the same rotations, and will be evaluated and treated the same as our partner school’s own students, while remaining enrolled and graduating from Ross.
