Each day approximately 40 veterinary students in their final year of professional training are in residence at NBC. Students rotate through all clinical areas of the hospital. This experience provides invaluable clinical training in the diagnosis, control, and treatment of animal diseases.

Resident training programs involving approximately 25 graduate veterinarians provided advanced study in many of the hospital clinical specialties including anesthesiology, medicine, surgery, cardiology, radiology, pathology, field service and reproduction.

The School of Veterinary Medicine, in partnership with Harcum College, offers a separate program for students interested in veterinary nursing. They graduate with a degree in veterinary technology.
