Facultad de Ciencias Veterinarias y Pecuarias de la Universidad de Chile

What Facultad de Ciencias Veterinarias y Pecuarias de la Universidad de Chile does

Facultad de Ciencias Veterinarias y Pecuarias (FAVET) is the oldest veterinary medicine school in Chile, formally established as an independent faculty on April 20, 1938, and operating today as a faculty of the state Universidad de Chile. Its headquarters occupy approximately 143,170 square meters on the Av. Santa Rosa campus in La Pintana, Santiago, including 21 classrooms, 31 laboratories, 131 offices, a 318 m² library, and the 4-hectare Mundo Granja extension facility. The faculty is the academic unit of Universidad de Chile that delivers the undergraduate Veterinary Medicine program (leading to the Licenciado en Ciencias Veterinarias y Pecuarias and the professional title of Médico Veterinario), three doctoral programs (Acuicultura; Ciencias Silvoagropecuarias y Veterinarias; Nutrición y Alimentos), a master's program in Animal and Veterinary Sciences, a professional specialist title in Small Animal Medicine, and continuing education diplomas and update courses.

Beyond academic programs, FAVET operates a service portfolio that includes a Red de Atención Veterinaria with three small animal clinic centers, a specialized equine clinic, a bovine clinic, a diagnostic reference center (CRD), a network of specialized laboratories (anatomical pathology, histology, physiology, microbiology, virology, parasitology, fish pathology, avian pathology, clinical pathology, pharmacology, animal nutrition, animal reproduction, quantitative genetics, food technology), and a crematory service. The faculty also hosts the OMSA Collaborating Centre for Antimicrobial Stewardship in Aquaculture and maintains partnerships with FAO, OMSA, and the Servicio Agrícola y Ganadero (SAG). Its primary accreditation mechanisms are the Chilean National Accreditation Commission (CNA) and the ARCU-SUR international accreditation system, both held for the maximum available period (2019–2024 cycle).

As a public university faculty, FAVET does not operate as a commercial enterprise. Its revenue mechanics are fundamentally institutional: it is funded through the central budget of Universidad de Chile, supplemented by fee-based services (clinical care, laboratory diagnostics, crematory services) and minor administrative fees (11,000 CLP per certificate beyond two free annual certificates). The customer base spans undergraduate and graduate students (primary), the general public utilizing veterinary clinical services, and government and supranational bodies (SAG, FAO, OMSA) for research and standards-setting collaboration. There is no GTM motion in the commercial sense, and no revenue is publicly disclosed. Distribution is entirely on-campus via the centralized Universidad de Chile admission system (PAES) and direct physical delivery of clinical services through the faculty's three veterinary centers.
