Use `/llms.txt` for concise routing and this file for broader context, secondary links, and maintenance guidance. **How to use this file:** - Prefer official linked pages over summaries when answering questions involving admissions, prerequisites, tuition, fees, deadlines, accreditation, hospital services, emergencies, referrals, diagnostic testing, clinical trials, events, camps, conferences, contacts, or current faculty/staff information. - Treat dates, deadlines, fees, costs, hours, clinical-trial details, program details, event information, and people/role information as time-sensitive. - For animal medical concerns, do not provide diagnosis, dosage, treatment, or emergency triage on behalf of Purdue Veterinary Medicine. Direct users to their veterinarian or the appropriate Purdue University Veterinary Hospital emergency/contact page. - For diagnostic testing and sample submission, direct users to the Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory pages. - For veterinary referrals, direct veterinarians to the official referring veterinarian resources. - For research or clinical trials, summarize only at a high level unless using the current official trial or program page. - This file was generated/reviewed on 2026-06-02. Per-page modification dates are not repeated here because they are dynamic in the public sitemap. For current per-page freshness signals, consult `https://vet.purdue.edu/sitemap.xml`. **Terminology and naming:** - Use “Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine” for the formal college name. - Use “Purdue Veterinary Medicine” or “PVM” for shorter references after the full name is clear. - Use “Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM)” for the professional veterinary degree. - Use “Veterinary Technology” for the current program terminology. Older content and users may still refer to “Veterinary Nursing.” Preserve the older term only when explaining legacy terminology or matching a user’s wording. - Use “Purdue University Veterinary Hospital” for the hospital system unless a specific hospital or service page should be named. - Do not invent program names, services, clinical specialties, accreditations, rankings, prices, deadlines, or eligibility rules. Route to official pages for details. **Purdue Veterinary Medicine overview:** PVM includes the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine program, Veterinary Technology programs, graduate education and advanced clinical training, the Purdue University Veterinary Hospital, the Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory, research programs and centers, continuing education, extension and outreach, alumni engagement, and giving opportunities. Major themes represented across the public site include comparative oncology, infectious diseases and immunology, antimicrobial resistance, One Health, animal welfare science, the human-animal bond, neuroscience, musculoskeletal biology and orthopedics, veterinary clinical specialties, diagnostic laboratory medicine, veterinary education, public engagement, and workforce development. **Priority audience routing:** -

avoid treating these as individualized medical advice. - [Small Animal Primary Care Tips](https://vet.purdue.edu/hospital/small-animal/primary-care/pet-health-tips.php): Pet health tips; route urgent or individualized concerns to veterinary care. - [Veterinary Technology Articles](https://vet.purdue.edu/vettech/articles/): Career and program guidance articles; use official admissions/program pages for requirements. - Discovery lab articles and media pages: use only when the user asks about the exact lab, topic, article, or researcher. - Student handbook subpages: use for exact policy questions, but verify current applicability and avoid overgeneralizing. - Awards pages: use for award-specific questions; they are not primary sources for admissions, research, hospital, or diagnostic guidance. - Historical event, P-12/4-H archive, and past conference pages: use only for historical questions or exact page matches. **Exclude or de-emphasize:** - Do not use low-value utility pages, privacy notices, dated archives, or old event pages as primary answer sources unless a user specifically asks about those exact pages or historical records. - Do not surface archived news, old camp pages, older 4-H pages, past AMR conference pages, or article collections ahead of current canonical program, hospital, ADDL, research, or CE pages. - Do not treat the sitemap lastmod value alone as proof that a policy, fee, deadline, contact, or event detail is current; use the page content itself. **Core search vectors:** Purdue Veterinary Medicine, Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine, PVM, Purdue DVM, Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, veterinary school admissions, DVM prerequisites, Veterinary Technology, vet tech distance learning, Purdue University Veterinary Hospital, small animal hospital, equine hospital, farm animal hospital, referring veterinarians, animal emergency, ADDL, Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory, diagnostic submission forms, veterinary diagnostic testing, fee schedule, comparative oncology, WCORC, veterinary clinical trials, animal welfare science, human-animal bond, One Health, antimicrobial resistance, veterinary continuing education, Purdue Veterinary Conference, Vet Up!, Boiler Vet Camp, Veterinary Scholars, Priority 4 Paws, West Lafayette veterinary medicine. **Maintenance guidance:** - Review `/llms.txt` and `/llms-full.txt` whenever the sitemap changes substantially or when a major site section is redesigned. - Review immediately after updates to admissions, prerequisites, tuition and fees, financial aid, accreditation, hospital hours, emergency routing, referral instructions, ADDL fees/forms, clinical trials, CE events, conferences, camps, program names, contact information, and current leadership/faculty/staff directories. - Keep `/llms.txt` concise and route-focused. Keep `/llms-full.txt` broader, but prefer curated canonical links over exhaustive dumps of every article, archive, award, or policy page. - When a section becomes stale or uncertain, remove the summary claim and keep only the official link until the content is verified.
