Purpose

Critical to the provision of high quality veterinary health care is access to current, accurate information. The knowledge base in veterinary medicine and other sciences increases daily, and it is impossible to personally know of every advancement made on a daily basis. However, advances in the development of information resources and wireless technology now provide the ability to retrieve information from almost any location. At some time in the future, veterinarians who fail to utilize readily available computer-based information resources to provide the best medical care possible will be as guilty of malpractice as those who fail to review textbooks and journal articles are today. The purpose of the College of Veterinary Medicine's mobile computing initiative is to prepare our students for that future.
