Veterinary Medicine
Veterinarians diagnose and treat illnesses, injuries, and diseases in animals. They provide preventive care, perform surgeries, prescribe medications, and educate pet owners and animal caretakers on proper health practices. Veterinarians work in a variety of settings, including private clinics, animal hospitals, farms, zoos, and research facilities. Some specialize in specific animal types or medical disciplines such as surgery, dermatology, or emergency care. Veterinarians must earn a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (D.V.M. or V.M.D.) degree from an accredited program and obtain a state license. Veterinary programs typically take 4 years to complete.
