What is a vet degree called?
In the United States the professional degree for a veterinarian is a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, or DVM; it isawarded by 27 vet schools in the US. Another school, the University of Pennsylvania bestows a VMD (Veterinariae Medicinae Doctoris) on its graduating vets. The DVM and VMD are equivalent degrees.

Yes, many veterinarians from Europe come to the US to study and practice; he/she will just have to pass the foreign veterinary exam if he/she didn't graduate from a school of veterinary medicine that is accredited by AVMA.
What is a VMD degree?
The Veterinariae Medicinae Doctoris (VMD) degree is only awarded to veterinarians by the University of Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania USA. It is equivalent to the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree awarded by all other US veterinary schools. The difference stems from the origin of the Penn School of Veterinary Medicine as the Veterinary Department of the Medical School. As the Medical School awarded the Medicinae Doctoris (MD) degree to graduate physicians, it was consistent to use a similar Latin format for the veterinary degree. With a similar origin, the Penn School of Dental Medicine awards the Dentariae Medicinae Doctoris (DMD) to dentists.

What are the requirements for a foreign graduate in veterinary medicine in the US?
Most graduates of foreign veterinary medicine colleges will need to take either the PAVE (Pan-American Veterinary Exam) or a series of exams administered by the Educational Commission for Foreign Veterinary Graduates. To find the scope of these tests, you can look at the ECFVG's website.
What are good vet schools to go to to be a vet?
No state in the US requires any formal education or training to work as a veterinary assistant. This is an entry level position in the veterinary medical field and veterinary assistants are generally trained on the job. There are some schools that offer veterinary assisting programs and "certify" their students however many of these are not overseen by an veterinary professionals or professional organizations and are often taught by people with no education or experience in the veterinary field. For people interested in enrolling in a veterinary assisting program, a wise choice would be to select programs offered by colleges that also offer an American Veterinary Medical Association accredited veterinary technology program or a veterinary assisting program that has been designed or approved by a veterinary professional association.
Can I study veterinary medicine in India and go to a foreign country and open a veterinary clinic?
Yes, although you will need to carefully investigate the admissions requirements for the veterinary school or schools in India as well as the immigration and veterinary clinic laws and regulations for the country you wish to practice in. I know of several veterinarians who trained in India then immigrated to the United States and have opened successful veterinary clinics in the US. It's possible, just not the easiest option to take.
