Veterinary Medicine

Becoming a general practitioner in a private practice is not the only career path for veterinarians, although it’s the first one most people think of. The field of veterinary medicine is highly diverse and offers many opportunities that aren’t often considered. Veterinarians may find work with pet-food manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, animal-welfare departments, federal and state agencies, the military, and colleges and universities. Some veterinarians choose to specialize in particular fields, such as dentistry or opthamology. Veterinary specialists offer a level of medical care that rivals anything available in top hospitals for people.
