The 1,000 acre wooded campus of Lincoln Memorial University in Harrogate, Tennessee,
is located 55 miles north of Knoxville. Alongside the DeBusk Veterinary Teaching Center
(DVTC), this is the main site for professional student learning in the first three
years of the curriculum. In Harrogate, the College occupies the Veterinary Medical
Education Building. The DVTC is located about 12 miles from the Harrogate campus,
in Ewing, Virginia, where most of our clinical learning occurs during the first 3
years of the curriculum. The CVM utilizes a hybrid distributive model for the clinical
year, where students learn at sites such as UKVDL, Innovetive, animal shelters, the
DVTC and private practice clinical affiliates.
