It’s a hot career that encompasses a great variety and number of job options. Many veterinarians work in private practice, diagnosing and treating illnesses in dogs, cats, birds, and other household pets. Other vets work in the field, traveling to treat horses, cows, and other farm or ranch animals. Still others work in the lab, conducting research on diseases and their cures. Veterinarians also work in public health, investigating animal and human disease outbreaks or helping ensure the safety of food processing plants and water supplies. As a vet, your career opportunities will be limitless—and your impact on society will be great.
The admission requirements vary from one school to another. Admission typically requires a minimum number of hours of relevant animal experiences in activities that give applicants an appreciation and understanding of the profession of veterinary medicine. Students take the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) or Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) at least one full year before the intended entrance date.
