1. Veterinarians are medical professionals who have as much college education as a human physician.

2. Veterinarians are qualified to treat any animal, but not humans; physicians can treat humans but not any animals.

3. Veterinarians and physicians are finding themselves working on the same problems - Diabetes management, joint replacement, etc. The same techniques and technologies are more often being used on both humans and animals.

4. Veterinarians tend to be generalists if they aren't board certified - they have a wide enough knowledge base to treat multiple species from birth to death. In contrast, most physicians tend to be specialists - they can treat only one species (humans) and often focus on a single organ system within that species.
