VHC Senior Student Handbook

The Veterinary Health Center’s mission is to provide superior veterinary medical education, quality patient care and exceptional customer service in a caring environment.

CONFIDENTIALITY

The "doctor - client" relationship is a critical relationship built on a trust and confidence which must not be violated. You will be part of discussions regarding the proper care of animals and their athletic or reproductive future. This is confidential information. You must continually respect the doctor-client relationship, even when the client is a personal friend. You must not discuss the diagnostic or therapeutic activities of the medical staff with individuals other than the medical staff or your classmates in an educational setting.
