Fulfilling the land-grant mission by interpreting knowledge and research so Ohioans can apply scientifically based information to better their lives, businesses, and communities.
Ohio State University Extension-Veterinary Medicine or "Veterinary Extension" is a unit within the Department of Veterinary Preventive Medicine. Extension Veterinarians in the Department serve as State Extension Specialists as well as faculty members of the College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM). Funding for these positions is shared between OSU Extension (usually 65% FTE or more) and the CVM or OARDC. Unlike Veterinary Extension at some other universities, State Specialists in veterinary medicine at OSU hold tenure-track positions in the Department and are expected to demonstrate excellence in teaching, research, and professional service as are other tenure-track faculty in the College. Extension education (teaching) programs are the principal Extension focus as opposed to diagnostic service.
Ohio State University Extension creates opportunities for people to explore how science-based knowledge can improve social, economic and environmental conditions.
