Mission, Vision and Values
The School of Veterinary Medicine of Universidad Ana G. Méndez aims to contribute to excellence in the practice of veterinary medicine in Puerto Rico and the rest of the world by training professional veterinarians equipped with the necessary tools to evaluate, diagnose, and treat animals. Our goal is to continue laying the foundations of the importance of animal care, disease prevention, research, and community education. We will promote the practice of veterinary medicine under strict quality standards and advocate the importance of the global One Health concept.
Advancing animal and human health on the island through exceptional patient care is at the center of our mission. Delivering excellent care will attract the referral base that will help us effectively teach students the art and science of veterinary medicine. Patient care and service to veterinarians are the backbone that will provide us with the environment and resources needed to offer an exceptional teaching program. The completion of the Small and Large Animal Teaching Hospitals construction projects, and the investment in new hospital equipment and materials, will add to our ability to deliver exceptional primary patient care as well as referral services for practicing veterinarians on the island.
