Dr. Jim Thompson, Dean


Welcome to the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine website. I have been the dean of this college since 2008 and have come to cherish our students, staff, and faculty as family. I’m glad you’re here and hope you enjoy browsing through the site and learning about our people, the veterinary profession, and what the UT CVM can offer.

Once you’ve explored our website, I hope you will gain an appreciation of our professional curriculum; please understand, however, that the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree isn’t handed to anyone—it must be earned. I’m proud of the camaraderie that exists among our students and the supportive culture provided by our college to help ensure student success. Our people make our college and Veterinary Medical Center a wonderful educational environment.

Thank you for your interest in our college and the veterinary profession. We take great pride in knowing that today’s graduates of the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine are ready to face a multitude of emerging challenges and opportunities.
Sincerely, Dean Thompson ​​​​​​​​​
