The community-based clinical year is delivered in a Clinical Learning Network (CLN). The CLN includes instructional sites that deliver both core and elective rotations. Core curricular rotations are delivered in Instructional Centers of Excellence (ICE), Texas Tech University School of Veterinary Medicine designated practice partners, and School of Veterinary Medicine facilities. These core instructional sites can also offer elective rotations. Additional elective rotations are delivered in non-core instructional sites and include practice partners, livestock producers, off-campus research sites, zoos, and regulatory agencies.
