Faculty also participate in university-wide graduate programs (MS and PhD).

Back up emergency calls are shared with other faculty. Discovery: All faculty are expected to collaborate on clinical research projects. The PVM is situated on the Purdue campus, allowing for a wide array of research opportunities. There is a clinical trials core to help facilitate clinical research, and a departmental research laboratory to support VCS faculty benchtop research. Service and Engagement: Participation in committee work, professional organizations and community service, delivery of continuing education programs, and other appropriate activities are encouraged.

The Small Animal Internal Medicine facilities include two endoscopy rooms, a minor procedures room, a dialysis facility, separate dog and cat holding facilities and treatment areas, a student rounds room, and doctor and nurse workrooms. The new complex provides state-of-the-art teaching facilities dedicated to educating the next generation of veterinary professionals, enabling faculty to provide top quality compassionate animal health care, and serve as a catalyst for interdisciplinary clinical research.
