A Career in Veterinary Medicine
| Veterinary science, like all other medical sciences, is an ever expanding entity of knowledge regarding all aspects of animal care. Veterinarians today are trained in fields such as dentistry, surgery, pharmacology, internal medicine, nutrition, animal behaviour, herd health, and avenues of scientific research. Students selected for veterinary medicine at one of Canada’s five veterinary colleges undergo four years of intensive study to receive their Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM). | | | | Graduating students then must successfully complete a North American wide comprehensive veterinary licensing examination which provides them with the ability to work in Canada, the United States and abroad. While in practice, veterinarians continue to learn and expand their veterinary skills through continuing education seminars, research projects and further academic studies. The future for the veterinary profession is bright. The demand for trained medical professionals such as veterinarians is ever increasing.
