Do you need to learn science to become a veterinarian?

Answer 1

Yes, veterinarians are biological medical scientists who are trained in a broad range of scientific disciplines including physics, chemistry, anatomy, genetics, microbiology, zoology and epidemiology.

Answer 2

This will depend upon your definition of "smart". Veterinarians have extensive, in-depth training in a variety of related science fields such as anatomy, pharmacology, epidemiology and molecular Biology. You don't have to be a genius, but you do have to be able to absorb, retain, integrate and utilize information from a variety of sources. In the United States, one way to explain vet school is you learn the basics about a dozen major domestic species and some information about another couple dozen species in four years. To get all this information in, you will be presented with 12-18 hours worth of information in the space of 6-8 hours 5 days a week, 30 weeks a year, for four years.

Answer 3

Yes, you need a strong background in both math and science to become a veterinarian, as a veterinarian is basically a field scientist who specifically focuses on the diseases and health of a select number of domestic animals.

Answer 4

Yes. In the United States you will need to graduate from an accredited college of veterinary medicine; you can look this up at the American Veterinary Medical Association's website at www dot avma dot org.

In most other countries around the world, you will need to graduate from a designated college of veterinary medicine - almost every country has at least one and many developed countries have several.

Answer 5

Yes, a person interested in becoming a veterinarian must study to become one. In order to practice veterinary medicine, you must obtain a doctorate in veterinary medicine.
