In the meantime check with all of the different vet schools you are wanting to attend to make sure you can provide all of the entry requirements such as ( GPA, science courses, and either Veterinary version of medical school entrance examination, the MCAT or the GRE).

3. There is alot of competition as well as its important to experience what your future career will be like by working for a position at an animal hospital, or a science/medical position. Also you could work with a vet. or even work for a zoo.

Answer 3

A veterinarian must complete four years of education at an accredited school of veterinary medicine. To be accepted into this school, he/she must complete at least three years of undergraduate courses called pre-requisite courses. Most applicants to veterinary school have completed four years of undergraduate and received a bachelor's degree.

Answer 4

In the United States, you must complete at least three years of undergraduate college then apply to vet school. You must graduate from vet school, which is four years of graduate level study, with a DVM or VMD (depending upon the vet school, the degrees are equivalent).

Once in practice, to maintain a license you must complete ongoing continuing education throughout your professional career.
In the United States you must obtain a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) or Veterinary Medical Doctor (VMD) degree from one of 28 accredited colleges of veterinary medicine in the country. Admission to these colleges is very competitive, and you must complete at least three years of undergraduate college before you can apply to a vet school.

Outside of the United States you must complete 6-8 years of post-secondary education; the exact structure of the curriculum, the time frame and the name of the degree vary slightly depending upon the educational system of the individual country.

Regardless of the school you attend, you will be studying subjects ranging from communication skills to epidemiology to anatomy and physiology to molecular Biology. Also, a veterinarian is typically trained on all major domestic species in their country of training; a veterinarian who wants to specialize further into either minor or non-domesticated species (such as reptiles or birds) would likely continue with additional training in that field after graduation from vet school.

, I am currently a Veterinarian. In some areas, the standards differ, but here is what I personally had to do to become one. Firstly, I volunteered and had a few jobs involving animals (shelter's, local vet's office etc.) and then in high school I took the following courses: trigonometry, biology, chemistry, animal science, and other science and math subjects. Once I graduated from H.S. I worked at internships. Then, I went to the University of Pennsylvania where I received my V.M.D. from graduating from Vet School. Finally, all of the schooling is done, and you now have to find an employer to pursue your career. You can do that by going on the internet, going to local vets, applying for jobs that you have found, and other ways like that. Once you have found a job that is suitable for you, you will apply for it, post your resume, list other information (as well as your veterinary medicine), and meet with your employer. Once you have found the perfect job, you are then officially working as a Veterinarian!

To become a veterinarian requires many years of education. First one needs an undergraduate degree, then an additional four years is required to receive a doctorate in veterinary science. After completing all necessary coursework, a national examination, and sometimes an additional state exam must be passed.

you need to study

Yh, you've got to study hard and do well at school to get the right grades. If you are in England then I think you need 6 A* at the least to be accepted into a vet school. Also, there is a lot of work experience involved, you have got to decide early on, at about fifteen if you are serious about becoming a vet, and then you can start work experience. You need about 400 hours of work experience.. I think. Look it up. Also research vet schools you might like to go to and what their standards and requirements are.
This varies depending upon the local and national laws regarding scope of practice and veterinary licensure. In general, however, you must complete an accepted (usually called accredited) curriculum in veterinary medicine at a college or university, pass a standardized test covering the scope of practice you will be practicing and receive a license to practice veterinary medicine.
In European countries, you need to have: A*-B/C in English, maths, biology, chemistry, physics, geography is a good idea, language (optional) and an A level in at least 2 out of these: Biology, physics, chemistry and maths. You also need to have some kind of experience in handling livestock or in a vet's surgery.

To become a veterinarian in the United States, you need to have a DVM or VMD degree. If you want to practice veterinary medicine, you also need to pass the NAVLE (Board exam), get a DEA license, become federally accredited and certified and get a State license to practice for the State you want to work in.

Answer 5

The following is by and according to the U.S. Department of Labor and particular to the education and training required for a veterinarian.

Veterinarians must obtain a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree and a State license. There is keen competition for admission to veterinary school.

Education and training. Prospective veterinarians must graduate with a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (D.V.M. or V.M.D.) degree from a 4-year program at an accredited college of veterinary medicine. There are 28 colleges in 26 States that meet accreditation standards set by the Council on Education of the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA).

The prerequisites for admission to veterinary programs vary. Many programs do not require a bachelor's degree for entrance, but all require a significant number of credit hours-ranging from 45 to 90 semester hours-at the undergraduate level. However, most of the students admitted have completed an undergraduate program and earned a bachelor's degree. Applicants without a degree face a difficult task gaining admittance.

Preveterinary courses should emphasize the sciences. Veterinary medical colleges typically require applicants to have taken classes in organic and inorganic chemistry, physics, biochemistry, general biology, animal biology, animal nutrition, genetics, vertebrate embryology, cellular biology, microbiology, zoology, and systemic physiology. Some programs require calculus; some require only statistics, college algebra and trigonometry, or pre-calculus. Most veterinary medical colleges also require some courses in English or literature, other humanities, and the Social Sciences. Increasingly, courses in general business management and career development have become a standard part of the curriculum to teach new graduates how to effectively run a practice.

In addition to satisfying preveterinary course requirements, applicants must submit test scores from the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), the Veterinary College Admission Test (VCAT), or the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT), depending on the preference of the college to which they are applying. Currently, 22 schools require the GRE, 4 require the VCAT, and 2 accept the MCAT.

There is keen competition for admission to veterinary school. The number of accredited veterinary colleges has remained largely the same since 1983, but the number of applicants has risen significantly. Only about 1 in 3 applicants was accepted in 2005.

New graduates with a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree may begin to practice veterinary medicine once they receive their license, but many new graduates choose to enter a 1-year internship. Interns receive a small salary but often find that their internship experience leads to better paying opportunities later, relative to those of other veterinarians. Veterinarians who then seek board certification also must complete a 3- to 4-year residency program that provides intensive training in one of the 20 AVMA-recognized veterinary specialties including internal medicine, oncology, pathology, dentistry, nutrition, radiology, surgery, dermatology, anesthesiology, neurology, cardiology, ophthalmology, preventive medicine, and exotic small-animal medicine.

Licensure. All States and the District of Columbia require that veterinarians be licensed before they can practice. The only exemptions are for veterinarians working for some Federal agencies and some State governments. Licensing is controlled by the States and is not strictly uniform, although all States require the successful completion of the D.V.M. degree-or equivalent education-and a passing grade on a national board examination, the North American Veterinary Licensing Exam. This 8-hour examination consists of 360 multiple-choice questions covering all aspects of veterinary medicine as well as visual materials designed to test diagnostic skills.

The Educational Commission for Foreign Veterinary Graduates grants certification to individuals trained outside the United States who demonstrate that they meet specified requirements for English language and clinical proficiency. This certification fulfills the educational requirement for licensure in all States.

Most States also require candidates to pass a State jurisprudence examination covering State laws and regulations. Some States do additional testing on clinical competency as well. There are few reciprocal agreements between States, veterinarians who wish to practice in a different State usually must first pass that State's examinations.

Other qualifications. When deciding whom to admit, some veterinary medical colleges place heavy consideration on a candidate's veterinary and animal experience. Formal experience, such as work with veterinarians or scientists in clinics, agribusiness, research, or some area of health science, is particularly advantageous. Less formal experience, such as working with animals on a farm or ranch or at a stable or animal shelter, also can be helpful. Students must demonstrate ambition and an eagerness to work with animals.

Prospective veterinarians must have good manual dexterity. They should have an affinity for animals and the ability to get along with their owners, especially pet owners, who usually have strong bonds with their pets. Veterinarians who intend to go into private practice should possess excellent communication and business skills, because they will need to manage their practice and employees successfully and to promote, market, and sell their services.

Advancement. Most veterinarians begin as employees in established group practices. Despite the substantial financial investment in equipment, office space, and staff, many veterinarians with experience eventually set up their own practice or purchase an established one.

Newly trained veterinarians can become U.S. Government meat and poultry inspectors, disease-control workers, animal welfare and safety workers, epidemiologists, research assistants, or commissioned officers in the U.S. Public Health Service or various branches of the U.S. Armed Forces. A State license may be required.

Nearly all States have continuing education requirements for licensed veterinarians. Requirements differ by State and may involve attending a class or otherwise demonstrating knowledge of recent medical and veterinary advances.
