Content: You'll need to earn the highest grades you can, since there is considerable competition for admission to the veterinary colleges. You should also gain some experience working in a veterinary practice to the extent possible after school and during your summer vacations. If you intend to work on farm animals, you should also accumulate some experience working on a livestock farm. You will then need to apply to one or more colleges of veterinary medicine for their 4-year course of study leading to the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree or its equivalent. ( For example, in the US, one college of veterinary medicine, that of the University of Pennsylvania, awards the VMD degree instead of the DVM degree.) Be prepared to work harder than you ever have in your life, because the standards are much higher than those you will have become accustomed to in undergraduate college. Once you have earned your veterinary degree, you will then need to take and pass the licensing exam for whichever jurisdictions you intend to practice in. In the US, professional licensing is handled by the states. Good luck! Paul Michelsen
