Veterinary medicine

INTRODUCTION

It was in the mid 1700’s when the first veterinary college was founded by Claude Bourgelate in Lyon, France. Like many other farmers, he took the time to seek out remedies to help his herd of cattle with the cattle plague. In a short time, Bourgelate felt the need to inform young farmers about his learnings on the diseases, and eventually started up the veterinary science and arts program at the college. He then went on to become a veterinarian, to help cattle all over the world, achieving his life goal. Many people do not realize that veterinarians will always remain to impact the lives of everyone. Without the care of animals, many people would not be able to survive. We rely on veterinarians to care for our animals because if it wasn’t for them, we would no longer have the comfort of our pet or the majority of the food on our table. The report will analyze the career of veterinary sciences, and determine if the career path is the right one to choose. The scope of this research covers the entire United States, and even branches out to other countries including England. Much of the information for this report has come from the eastern and central part of the U.S.. In the world of veterinary science, researchers need to connect with other locations to gain a better understanding of the job. Veterinarians are constantly taking what they have learned and using the information to better the lives of animals. Types of sources used to support the data in the report include, scholarly journals, books, official websites, and a professional interview. Veterinary sciences have come a long way since it was originally founded. Anyone who graduates with a Doctorate in veterinary science and has the passion to work with animals wi...

BENEFITS

Having a career as a veterinarian has a wide range of benefits. Not only do vets get the obvious benefits such as, health care, and job security, but they are also able to make an impact on an animal’s life. Megan also said that there is no better feeling than the excitement she gets when she sees just how happy a pet and its owners are after a long recovery. This feeling can turn any crappy day into the best, because she knows she has done her job (See appendix A). Veterinarians will always be needed as long as this world continues to rely on animals. Without them, we would no longer be able to have our companion animals or the meat on our table.
