Veterinary Physician

A veterinarian is an individual who practices veterinary medicine by treating disease, disorder, and injury in non-human animals. A vet, like a doctor or a police officer, in most countries, is protected to that of where a person without said licensing cannot title themselves as such, as doing so without licensing can be seen as against the law according to the laws of the country they are residing in. Animal treatment, in most countries, due to this law, can only be given by licensed veterinarians, and it is illegal for someone without the proper licensing to give out such treatments. But, enough of that, let me get onto how this relates to biology.

Animals are a key factor in biological science, seeing as to how they are the majority of what biological science pulls their research from, and without them we would not be here, and we would be not be as intelligent as we are. Even we are animals, though we are far more intelligent than most, if not all. Because of their key relation to biology, veterinary science is also greatly related. A veterinarian, as I stated earlier, is someone who provides treatment to an animal. This relation makes it so that veterinary science is a key aspect in animal-biology relations. Without veterinarians, we would not know as much as we do about how animals work, though they work very similiar to us humans, according to their place in the animal kingdom. But, before we dwell too far into that matter, let me discuss some of the history behind veterinarian physicians.

The term veterinary originates from the latin term veterinae, which means “working animals”. Thomas Browne, in 1646, first used the term “veterinarian”. The word is now largely used in North America and other countries using American E...

In said programs, students must take courses on animal anatomy and physiology, as well as disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. You must take these subjects and memorize them, for the students will need them in their future career more than anything. These programs include 3 years of classroom, laboratory, and clinical work. The students typically spend the final year of the 4-year-program doing clinical rotations in a veterinary medical center or hospital. They must get used to their future job, and take up a form of apprenticeship alongside a fully licensed veterinary physician. Some will even take up internships to further their studies and gain experience in the field. This can be valuable for veterinarians who apply for competitive or better paying positions or in preparation for a certification program.
