• Prospective veterinarians must graduate with
a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (D.V.M. or
V.M.D.) degree from a 4-year program at an
accredited college of veterinary medicine.
• Works with veterinarians or scientists in
clinics, agribusiness, research, or some area of
health science, is particularly advantageous.

• Employment of veterinarians is expected to
increase 33 percent over the 2008–18 decade,
much faster than the average for all
occupations.
• Excellent job opportunities are expected
because there are only 28 accredited schools
of veterinary medicine in the United States,
resulting in a limited number of graduates—
about 2,500—each year.
