The Lincoln Memorial University-College of Veterinary Medicine at Orange Park (LMU-OPCVM) has achieved a key step toward accreditation, receiving a Letter of Reasonable Assurance from the American Veterinary Medical Association Council on Education (AVMA-COE) on August 28. This milestone permits the college to begin accepting applications for its inaugural class starting June 2026.
Dean Dr. Kim Carney praised the dedication of faculty, staff, and partners in shaping a program that blends academic rigor with real-world application. The three-year, year-round curriculum emphasizes early clinical exposure, team-based learning, and integration of professional skills such as leadership, communication, and wellness. Students will also engage in a distributive clinical model, training at partner practices and organizations throughout the region. Located on Crossing Blvd. in Orange Park, the campus leverages strong community partnerships, including the Jacksonville Humane Society and Clay County Animal Services, to provide service-oriented, community-based education designed to prepare graduates for the modern Veterinary profession.
