Yes, veterinarians work as part of a team that includes lay assistants, kennel staff, veterinary technicians, office staff such as receptionists and other veterinarians. Some veterinarians also reach out to shelters, police departments, wildlife organizations and non-governmental organizations to offer veterinary medical assistance to these groups.

In the United States, you would start with becoming a veterinarian - completing at least three years of undergraduate college then four years of vet school. While in vet school, you need to maintain a high GPA and focus your courses on the types of wild animals you want to work with - large animals, predators, Birds of Prey, marine, etc. After graduation, you would complete a 1 year internship in a specialty such as internal medicine, food animal medicine or surgery. After this you would likely complete a 3-5 year residency in the same discipline as your internship. Throughout the vet school curriculum, internship and residency you would also focus on working with as many different groups that work with wildlife as you could.

There are dozens of individuals in vet school every year who are interested in working with wildlife, but not all that many jobs. Most find themselves working in private practice with occasional service for wildlife rather than working directly with wildlife on a regular basis.

Are there any other places veterinarians work?

Most veterinarians work in private practice clinics around the world, treating privately owned animals. However, some work in zoos and wildlife parks, others work in the pharmaceutical industry, there are veterinarians in the military and some that work in the government. In many cases, when a veterinarian is not in private practice, their job title does not include "veterinarian", so it can be hard to figure out where the veterinarians are and what they are doing.

Can veterinarians work part time?

Yes, some veterinarians do work part time. This has become slightly more popular as the demographics of working veterinarians shifts towards being more heavily female - women veterinarians are more likely to want to work part time and trade a smaller paycheck for more time for family and home. This option is also being used by veterinarians with injuries/illnesses that make it difficult for them to work a full day but they aren't mentally, emotionally, or financially ready to retire yet.
