 Fourth Year The fourth year of the veterinary medical curriculum is designed to be flexible and to provide for species
emphasis. Students must complete 38 credits during their fourth year. They must take a required block and at least one
option block. The remainder of the fourth year credits are acquired by selecting additional option blocks, Veterinary Teaching
Hospital clinical electives, off-campus clinical electives, or other electives. Additional off-campus clinical elective credits can
be earned at approved government agencies, research laboratories, veterinary practices, and other university hospitals.

Conclusions and Clinical Relevance—Electroacupuncture combined
with standard Western medical treatment was effective and
resulted in shorter time to recover ambulation and deep pain
perception than did use of Western treatment alone in dogs with
signs of thoracolumbar intervertebral disk disease.
