According to the NCSU-CVM website, “Veterinary Experience” includes clinical, medical, agribusiness, health science, or medical-related scientific research completed under the supervision of a veterinarian (or PhD if scientific research). The experience can be either paid or voluntary, and supervised experiences in three or more different areas are highly recommended for a competitive application. Applicants’ experiences are evaluated on duration, level of duties, and diversity. According to the NCSU-CVM website, “Animal Experience” includes all other animal-related experiences. This includes working with livestock; breeding or showing dogs; employment at a zoo, aquarium or pet shop; equestrian activities; and volunteering at an animal shelter/rescue. This does not include experience gained from owning pet. These experiences are evaluated much the same as Veterinary Experience with a duration of at least 100 hours being highly recommended.
