    About Certificate in Pre-Veterinary Medicine

    Veterinarians are licensed medical professionals dedicated to maintaining and promoting the health and well beings of animals. Veterinarians diagnose and treat sick and injured animals, prevent the transmission of diseases, and advise pet owners on the proper care of animals. Veterinary work is widely varied and may also include clinical practice with large and/or small animals, biomedical research, industry, zoological or exotic animal medicine, public health and food safety.

    Admission to Veterinary programs is competitive and it's recommended that students complete a bachelor's degree and maintain a strong academic record prior to applying.
