Veterinarian

Duties and responsibilities:

Veterinarians provide healthcare treatment to animals, just as medical doctors do to human beings. Primarily, veterinarians administer medication, vaccinations, perform surgeries, and provide general health care for companion animals. Unlike a general practitioner, veterinarians must rely strictly on signs and symptoms of the treated animal (as animals are unable to talk). By combining personal observations, the owner’s perspective, and pertinent diagnostic tests such as blood tests, x-rays, and CT-scans, veterinarians aim to effectively treat and prevent diseases in animals

Salary:84,460 USD

Education:

Veterinarians are required to complete a four-year Doctor of Medicine program, in addition to undergraduate school. These professionals are also required to obtain license to practice in the profession.
