Colorado State University College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences Partners with CoVet to Advance AI in Veterinary Education and Clinical Practice

Colorado State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences has announced a strategic partnership with CoVet, an advanced AI-powered clinical documentation platform. This collaboration will introduce CoVet’s “clinical co-pilot” technology to veterinary students, faculty, interns, and house officers, marking a significant advancement in integrating artificial intelligence into veterinary education and clinical training.

Under the 12-month initiative, the CSU veterinary community will receive full access to CoVet’s scribing and decision-support tools. Designed to streamline clinical documentation and enhance efficiency, the platform supports veterinary professionals by automating SOAP notes, transcribing consultations, and simplifying client communication.

"This collaboration is grounded in the belief that technology should augment—not replace—the human expertise at the heart of veterinary care," said Andrew Ciccolini, DVM, Medical Director of Companion Animal Spectrum of Care Services, CSU Veterinary Health System. "We're focused on training our students to use AI responsibly, ethically, and effectively."

The partnership reflects a shared commitment to equipping future veterinarians with technology that mirrors the realities of modern clinical practice. By reducing administrative burdens and enabling a greater focus on patient care, the integration of AI aims to improve both educational outcomes and clinical performance.

Throughout the year, CoVet will provide comprehensive onboarding and technical support to ensure seamless adoption within CSU Veterinary Health System’s hospital electronic medical record systems. CSU will appoint clinical champions and technical leads to oversee platform performance, coordinate training, and evaluate long-term integration potential.

Anticipated benefits of this collaboration include improved clinical efficiency, reduced time spent on documentation, and enhanced preparedness for entering a tech-forward workforce. By embracing AI early, CSU and CoVet are setting a new standard for veterinary training and patient care, preparing graduates to navigate and excel in an increasingly digital profession.
