Veterinarians must receive their Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine (DVM). In order to qualify for admission to Veterinary School, a student must first complete at least three years of college education in Biological and Physical Sciences or Animal Science. Most successful veterinary school applicants have earned a four-year Bachelor of Science degree in one of these areas of study. Most veterinary degree programs involve an additional four years of study to obtain the DVM. In order to practice, all veterinarians must then become board certified by passing both an oral and written exam issued by the state in which they wish to practice. Currently some states require an additional internship period while others do not. Admission to Veterinary School is very competitive. High academic achievement in college as well as practical experience is required. Most veterinary graduates complete a one to two year internship after receiving their DVM. In order to specialize, a DVM must complete an internship, residency and pass a specialist examination to be fully certified in that area of veterinary medicine.
