- The curricular framework has been developed based on Competency Based Veterinary Education (CBVE; see www.AAVMC.org), and is designed to be vertically and horizontally integrated.
- Curricular development will require considerable teamwork to effectively develop course syllabi, assist with curricular mapping, and develop content relative to this integration and related outcomes.

Clinical service, for the purpose of veterinary student clinical instruction, may be provided through specific private practice sites during clinical year student rotations. Effort may be directed towards developing the rotation in anticipation of instructing students in their clinical year such as expanding the clinical caseload; supporting a practice with advanced diagnostics, therapeutics, and surgical support; advancing the education of veterinary practitioners, supervision, and instruction of clinical year students in core and/or elective clinical year rotations. The TTU SVM does not have a teaching hospital and thus clinical service will be limited as per above.

Additional comments:
- The curriculum is grounded on general veterinary practice in rural agricultural and regional communities. A central function of subject-matter experts is to provide instruction such that graduates can competently and confidently practice veterinary medicine at a distance from referral hospitals.
- Those with experience in rural and regional community practices will provide important feedback that will inform the admission process, instruction, and continuing education.
- Eastern New Mexico and the Texas Panhandle form the 3^rd largest milkshed in the United States.
