Medicina Veterinaria Portugal Jun 2026

A neurocirurgia veterinária (para hérnias discais ou epilepsia refratária) está em franca expansão, com centros em Lisboa e Porto a realizarem cirurgias guiadas por RMN.

The formal roots of veterinary medicine in Portugal date back to the 19th century, with the establishment of the Escola Régia de Veterinária in Lisbon in 1830. However, for most of the 20th century, the profession was overshadowed by human medicine, often viewed as a technical trade rather than a full-fledged medical science. The Carnation Revolution of 1974 and subsequent integration into the European Economic Community (now the EU) in 1986 were turning points. Access to EU structural funds necessitated the modernization of livestock production, food inspection, and disease control—demanding a new generation of highly trained veterinarians. medicina veterinaria portugal
