PRINCESS ANNE, Md. – The University of Maryland Eastern Shore’s School of Veterinary Medicine is approaching a key point in its effort to secure accreditation for what will become Maryland’s first veterinary school. The institution will undergo a full accreditation site review by the American Veterinary Medical Association Council on Education from June 21 through June 26, 2026, according to information released by the university.
The upcoming review will examine the program’s progress toward meeting the council’s accreditation requirements, which cover academic structure, financial support, clinical training capacity, research activity, student performance, and overall program management. The university’s submission outlines the school’s development since its launch and details how its resources are being aligned with professional standards. During the visit, evaluators are expected to review facilities, examine clinical partnerships, and meet with representatives from across the campus community. The council’s assessment will include documentation of how the program prepares students for veterinary practice, manages curriculum development, and supports student learning.
UMES officials have been working with campus departments, regional partners, and organizations within Maryland’s agricultural and animal-health sectors to prepare for the review. The university plans to provide additional updates as the visit approaches. The School of Veterinary Medicine is positioned to expand training opportunities for future veterinarians in the Mid-Atlantic and support workforce needs in animal health and related fields.
Information about the program and its accreditation progress is available at umes.edu/svm. Questions may be directed to vetschool@umes.edu.
