Option opens door for veterinary study in Georgia Vol. Option opens door for veterinary study in Georgia Students enrolled in UD's highly respected preveterinary medical concentration in the Department of Animal and Food Sciences who also are Delaware residents, now have a new option available. The University of Georgia veterinary medicine contract is Delaware's first regional contract program. Dohms has been an adviser in UD's preveterinary program for 22 years. Our prevet program is demanding.
Students get a thorough grounding in the sciences, taking courses in biology, physics and chemistry.
In addition, they get hands-on experience with animals. The University Farm maintains a dairy herd, a small beef herd, a sheep flock, pigs and poultry. The students learn about nutrition, diseases and physiology, gain experience in caring for and examining large animals and assisting at births. Not all students who are enrolled in the prevet program go on to veterinary colleges, Dohms said. Others in the program may chose medical school, graduate school or seek science-related jobs.
