You do an awful lot of studying at a vet's training college, then spend an awful lot of time 'assisting' (working on the cheap!) with a vet, then back to college, then, if they think you're good enough, you qualify and they chuck you out into the cold. Be warned that the full course is LONGER than that of a doctor ! ! !

You have to study as a vet at a college. I'm from the UK so not familiar with colleges offering courses in the USA.
The college places are very limited so you need to be a good candidate to get in.
You'll need good grades in two sciences, usually chemistry and biology. You'll also need good grades in maths and english.
You have to have lots of experience so you need to do some work at a veterinary clinic.
It takes 4-6 years to study as a general practioner and more if you want to specialize.
It's a difficult career to get into but very rewarding.

You could start by applying at your local vets surgery as a Volunteer then take it fom there - my sister started that way 20years ago, then went onto to train as a Vet Nurse then finally went away to Vet School to train as vet. Takes about 5 years of very hard study and you cant be faint-hearted.

the many times taking place vet leaves college with $a hundred,000 in loans. some states will repay your loans in case you're keen to do foodstuff animal artwork for a undeniable variety of years. it is because of the fact there are actually not sufficient foodstuff animal vets in rural aspects good now. the many times taking place graduate in small animal starts off at $50,000+ finding on the place you prepare. It takes 3-4 years of below graduate artwork in the past you're able to be conscious to vet college. in case you're fortunate to get in then it is yet another 4 years of faculty. the utility technique demands information of working or volunteering in a veterinary wellness midsection for a undeniable variety of hours to boot as references from people who artwork interior the sphere. it is real those persons that are in this occupation unquestionably love our jobs as we don't get wealthy from doing this. I won't even bypass into how little veterinary technicians make and we are the nurses, lab techs, anesthetists, x-ray techs, dental techs of the animal worldwide.

in the UK you need 3 Sciences at A level followed by 7 years at a Veterinary college to achieve your MRCVS (Member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons).
It's a tough career path study wise but very worthwhile and very well paid at the end of it.
try contacting the University of Bristol veterinary science dept at Langford, they are one of the best in the country, their web address is vetschool.bris.ac.uk
Good luck
