USask WCVM expands veterinary seats for SK students with $13.2M

The Government of Saskatchewan has invested $13.2M to create new seats for students from Saskatchewan at the University of Saskatchewan Western College of Veterinary Medicine. This increased funding will support SK’s veterinary sector by adding five new seats for SK students in the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine program. This brings the total of seats available for SK students to 25. “We continue to see a rising demand for veterinary services in the province,” said SK Advanced Education Minister Gordon Wyant. WCVM annually accepts an allotted number of applicants from Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and British Columbia based on an interprovincial agreement with the three western provinces.
