Embryology, genetics, and agricultural courses such as dairy science, and poultry science were also included. After completion of the pre-veterinary requirements, you begin the process of applying to veterinary school. This process varies from school to school. Most involve some form of written application, interview, and examination. The interview with the admissions board is particularly challenging.
Many veterinary schools require letters of recommendation from a practicing veterinarian.
This brings me to a very important point. Anyone interested in pursuing veterinary medicine in my opinion must have some work experience in a veterinary office. This experience will help the student determine if this is really the career path they want to pursue. Veterinary schools want their incoming students to have at least some idea of the challenges ahead, so that they are better prepared to be successful. The first two years are primarily lectures and laboratory work.
