You will be required to pay for a faculty license ($125) through the state of Oklahoma and must have passed the NAVLE exam prior to beginning the residency. Parking permits are required to park near the teaching hospital at an approximate cost of $160 per academic year.

The Theriogenology section at OSU is comprised of five board certified Theriogenologists. We strive to offer a strong comparative program through a growing and active small animal caseload, a perennially busy equine caseload, and specialty practice food animal caseload and experiences. We have a long history of a strong caseload in client mare fertility, breeding and foaling management, as well as stallion breeding management. In small animals we offer transcervical insemination, culture and biopsy services, semen analysis and freezing, in addition to and as part of our infertility, breeding and whelping management program. Of note, resident herds of horses (mares and stallions) and cattle are kept at the OSU CVM Ranch for deep hands-on experience with breeding management, semen analysis and freezing, as well as teaching and research purposes.

Stillwater is a great place to live and was named one of the best small towns in America. We are a university town situated between Oklahoma City and Tulsa with an easy 1-hour commute to either city. There are opportunities for cultural, sporting, entertainment, and recreational activities. Stillwater has outstanding public schools and is an excellent place to live.
