Consider vet school to be Med school times 200 species. In medical school, you are given the tools to decide for yourself what area of interest best fits you. In veterinary school, you are required by the time you graduate to be a dentist, a general practitioner, an epidemiologist, a surgeon, and many others. The veterinarian is responsible for caring of the entire animal. Vet school is considered by most to be even most difficult than medical school. In fact, it is common knowledge that veterinary school IS harder to get in to than medical school because of so few veterinary schools in comparison to medical schools.
