Other roles include veterinary specialists who focus on specific areas like surgery or dentistry, as well as veterinary researchers who conduct studies to improve animal health.
Veterinary medicine is a career, a profession and a vocation. It is the science and practice of improving animal health, preventing disease, providing relief of suffering and protecting the public health when it can or is impacted by the health and activities of animals.
