The American College of Veterinary Surgeons (ACVS) has named the Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine as an official Fellowship Training Center in the area of small animal orthopedics minimally invasive surgery.

MSU is currently one of three academic institutions offering this advanced training program.

The ACVS Fellowship is a highly specialized training that expands upon the surgical knowledge and experience obtained during an ACVS surgery residency. The position, and the training center designation, serve to develop highly skilled surgeons who, in turn, will become recognized experts in a specific surgical field.
