Veterinary Medicine is the study of preventing, diagnosing, and treating illnesses that affect domestic and wild animals. It also focuses on human health by avoiding the transmission of animal diseases — especially from pets and food-producing animals — to people.

People who study Veterinary Medicine have a deep love and appreciation for animals. Vet students understand that these beings — small or large — have feelings, can experience pain, and suffer tremendously from diseases or abuse. By choosing to become a vet, you can relieve their pain, look after their wellbeing, and make the world a little better one animal patient at a time.

A typical Veterinary Medicine curriculum includes subjects like Animal Biology, Cell and Molecular Biology, Health and Disease, Body Systems, Animal Nutrition, Infectious Diseases, Functional Histology, Vet Parasitology, Vet Lab Sciences, etc.
