What education do you need to become a vet?

Answer 1

Students who wish to enter a veterinary program typically obtain bachelor's degrees in science-related areas, like zoology, molecular Biology, chemistry, animal science and biochemistry.

In some instances, veterinary programs do not require students to hold 4-year degrees; however students may experience difficulty gaining admittance into veterinary programs without degrees. Those who have not completed undergraduate school generally need to have completed at least 45-90 semester hours.

Answer 2

Check college or university websites. I think I saw a coarse in George Brown college (in downtown Toronto,Canada), that would probably be what you are looking for. If I'm wrong, then just go to your local veterinarian and ask them what type of diplomas you need to become a veterinarian yourself. I'm sure they'll tell you.

Answer 3

There are two different degrees a person needs to become a veterinarian. They will need to get an undergraduate degree, and then they'll need to go to school for another four years to get their Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree.

Answer 4

No, there is only one path to becoming a veterinarian, and that is to complete the full course of study in veterinary medicine at an accredited college. You cannot use other certification programs or alternate learning venues to become a veterinarian.

In the US, a person must successfully complete a four-year course of study at an accredited college of veterinary medicine to become a veterinarian. If that person wishes to practice veterinary medicine (ie, go into practice, which most veterinarians do), he must also pass the North American Veterinary Licensing Exam (NAVLE, also called "national boards" or the "national board exam") and obtain a license from the state in which he wishes to practice.

Graduates of non-American veterinary colleges who wish to practice in the US must provide proof of successful graduation from the veterinary college and, depending on where that person graduated from, take one or more of three different knowledge exams in addition to applying for and receiving a state veterinary license.

Answer 5

In the United States, the major exam is the North American Veterinary Licensing Exam (NAVLE). In addition, most States have a State Licensing Exam that veterinarians must take to get a license to practice in that state.

Answer 6

In the United States, you would start with graduating high school or completing your GED. You then need to complete at least three years worth of undergraduate college classes - there are specific classes required by each vet school. Then you need to complete four years of vet school, pass the NAVLE, pass a State licensing exam and get your federal certification/accreditation.

Answer 7

In the United States, you must graduate from an accredited school of veterinary medicine with a DVM or VMD andobtain a state license to practice veterinary medicine.

Answer 8

You need a medicinal license and a doctor's license.

Answer 9

A veterinarian is required to have a doctoral degree before practicing medicine. This typically requires completing a 4 year undergraduate program followed by a 3 to 4 year graduate program.
