First, you must earn a bachelor's degree from a 4-year college. While your studies can cover a wide variety of subjects, they should include a good grounding in the hard sciences, especially chemistry and zoology. Since your next step will be to apply to a college of veterinary medicine, you should check the entry requirements of the specific schools you have in mind and be sure that your undergraduate college courses include all of that school's prerequisites. Typically, they will include organic chemistry and sometimes biochemistry, too. 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.)
