The overall goal of the residency program is to provide training and experience to qualify the candidate for certification by the American College of Veterinary Surgery (ACVS). The program is accredited by ACVS for training residents, and is directed by eight LA diplomates of ACVS (of which three are also LA diplomates of ACVECC). Although the emphasis of the residency is surgery, residents are cross-trained in emergency duty (i.e. participate in both medical and surgical emergencies and critical care).
