Alumni
Since the first class of 10 men graduated in 1887, over 6,000 veterinarians have graduated from the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine with a Veterinariae Medicinae Doctoris degree, or “VMD.” Penn Vet also considers the hundreds of clinicians who have trained as residents, interns, post-doctorates, and fellows alongside VMDs as alumni. Today, the school’s alumni are working across the nation and around the world to improve the health and welfare of animals and humans.
