Launching a three-and-a-half-year residency program
IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Animal Dermatology Clinic (ADC) announces accreditation at Massey University to expand their residency teaching program. This integrative program to launch a three-and-a-half-year residency program is designed to attract, cultivate and support leadership excellence in the practice of veterinary dermatology.
