By: Gene Pinder, Director of Marketing But patient volume isn’t the only thing that’s changed since 1983 – veterinary medicine has become increasingly specialized, and its advances in treatments for animal patients have benefited human patients as well. NC State has been at the forefront of much of this research, and with the dedication of its new Randall B. Terry, Jr. Companion Animal Veterinary Medical Center on May 6, NC State will solidify its position as a national leader in veterinary health. Coming in at 110,000-square- North Carolina State University's College of Veterinary Medicine is ranked third among the nation's 28 colleges of veterinary medicine in the new (2012) survey by U.S. News and World Report. Enhanced medical technologies that will be available to patients include: a biplane fluoroscopy unit for better visualization of complex structures – such as congenital heart defects – for more accurate and faster placement of interventional devices; a new linear accelerator for precision treatment of a variety of cancers; a 64-slice Computed Tomography CT Unit for high-resolution imaging; copper-shielded rooms required for neurological and opthalmological diagnostics; According to Dr. Michael Davidson, Associate Dean and Director of Medical Services, the Terry Center, in addition to offering the best treatment available to its animal patients, is a key piece of NC State’s new Centennial Biomedical Campus, a network of corporate, government and academic partners dedicated to medical research. “The Centennial Biomedical Campus is an extension of NC State’s Centennial Campus concept, which promotes public and private research partnerships,” The four-year, $72 million project was made possible, in part, by a $20 million donation from the R.B. Terry, Jr., Charitable Foundation – one of the largest private gifts ever given to NC State. # # # Centennial Campus is an award-winning a research park and campus owned and operated by NC State University.
