How can grade school and middle school students prepare for careers in veterinary medicine?
Many students decide at an early age that they want to be a veterinarian. You can begin preparing for a career in veterinary medicine by taking opportunities to get experience working with veterinarians, veterinary technicians, and veterinary technologists. Learn about all the career options so that you can be well-informed about what a career in veterinary medicine is all about. You can also prepare by getting experience with all different types of animals: dogs, cats, horses, pigs, poultry, cattle, exotic animals, etc. On your application to veterinary school, you will be asked to write down these experiences and what you learned from them. If you start keeping a journal of all of your experiences with animals and veterinary medical professionals you will have a jump start on the application process. For each experience, describe the experience, write down the dates of the experience and how many hours you spent on each activity. Another way to learn about careers in veterinary medic
