Generally speaking, the duties included in any <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">vet job description<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are comparable to those of general practitioners as well as specialists for humans.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, veterinarians can become animal dentistry specialists, which is somewhat similar to being a regular dentist. However, no one veterinarian can treat all animal species and conditions, hence the existence of various different types of veterinarians.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Types of Veterinarian Jobs<\/b><\/h3><hr \/><h4><b>Companion Animal Veterinarian<\/b><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Companion animal veterinarians treat pets in private veterinarian healthcare institutions like hospitals and clinics. They treat all kinds of companion animals, including exotic reptiles, birds, ferrets, and rabbits. However, most vaccinations, diagnoses, consultations, and treatments are attributed to cats and dogs. The companion animal veterinarian is one of the most common <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">veterinarian job<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> types.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h4><b>Food Animal Veterinarian<\/b><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Food animal veterinarians are responsible for the welfare of farm animals raised as food sources for human consumption. They monitor and conduct vaccinations and treat farm animals and livestock.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They also conduct regular inspections on the living conditions of farm animals, advising the owners on good practices and housing conditions. Of all the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">types of veterinarian jobs<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, this one involves the most terrain work. Food animal veterinarians spend most of their working hours outside of the office, visiting farms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h4><b>Food Safety and Inspection Veterinarians<\/b><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Veterinarians working in the food safety industry are in charge of detecting and monitoring animal pathologies that are dangerous to human health. As their job is to inspect animals and food products at the same time, food safety veterinarians play a significant role in preventing transmissible diseases between humans and animals. They often design and lead programs that aim to prevent or control these diseases.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to the typical <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">veterinary industry jobs<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, there are plenty of different types depending on the workplace. For example, research veterinarians usually work in universities or research institutions. Some veterinarians specialize in wildlife and work in zoos, reservations, and national parks.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Work Environment<\/b><\/h3><hr \/><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The vast majority of veterinarians work in private hospitals and clinics. However, a lot of them are taking their<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">veterinary job<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> online to work as remote veterinarians.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many veterinarians work in food production plants. Likewise, those who take care of laboratory animals work in scientific institutes. And some veterinarians are professors in colleges and universities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Veterinarians can do regular fieldwork, which is the case with food animal veterinarians and with wildlife, reservation, and national park veterinarians as well. Other places of work include zoos, animal shelters, and race tracks.<\/span><\/p><h4><b>Injuries and Illnesses<\/b><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The wide array of working environments puts veterinarians at risk of injuries and illnesses. Many <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">veterinary career options<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> involve direct examination of sick animals that are sometimes hostile and scared, so the risk of physical injuries caused by biting, scratching, or kicking is high. As all healthcare providers, veterinarians also risk contracting infectious diseases.<\/span><\/p><h4><b>Work Schedules<\/b><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most veterinarians work full-time, often more than 40 hours per week. Whether working in a shelter or a clinic, emergencies tend to arise, so most veterinarians work on holidays and weekends.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>How to Become a Veterinarian?<\/b><\/h3><hr \/><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to pursue a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">veterinarian career path<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, start by<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> attending an accredited veterinary college or university and obtain the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree. The next step is taking the state exam (the North American Veterinary Licensing Examination) and passing it.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Afterward, you need to check your state law and see if you need to pass another state exam to get your license.<\/span><\/p><h4><b>Important Qualities<\/b><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All veterinarians must have the following:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Excellent communication<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 Effectively describing treatments and diagnosis to animal owners and successfully communicating with colleagues.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Compassion<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Veterinarian jobs<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> require understanding and compassion to avoid causing harm to both animals and their owners.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Effective decision-making<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 Decision-making is conditioned by the knowledge and confidence of a veterinarian.

Luckily, hand dexterity can be mastered with exercises.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Problem-solving<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 One of the most important of the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">veterinarian career requirements<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h4><b>Education<\/b><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Veterinarians must obtain a DVM degree, which usually requires attending a four-year-long veterinary medicine program in an accredited institution. The inscription process for these accredited colleges is highly competitive. Therefore, veterinarians require solid academic backgrounds in science subjects, ideally with some form of practical experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is a lot of clinical and laboratory work in this college program in addition to the classroom work. In contrast with the basic requirements <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">for<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">veterinary assistant jobs<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> where a high-school diploma is enough, veterinarians need to put in years of study before being able to work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h4><b>Licenses, Certifications, and Registrations<\/b><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After acquiring a DVM diploma, veterinarians need to pass the national exam and obtain a license. However, for many aspiring veterinarians, the exams don\u2019t end here. In most of the US federal states, there is an additional state-specific exam for veterinarians that includes laws and regulations corresponding to that state. The exam certificate is not transferable. To be able to apply for any of the private <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">veterinarian jobs<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, veterinarians must pass an exam in the state they want to work in.<\/span><\/p><h4><b>Advancement<\/b><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Starting their own practice is the career goal of many veterinarians. However, advancement in the veterinary profession is not guaranteed. After obtaining their license to practice, veterinarians must attend a 40-hour educational course every two years as a part of the continuous education program (CE).\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Through the everyday practice of veterinary medicine, some veterinarians may decide to pursue specialist training. The veterinarian specialist training usually lasts three to four years, while <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">veterinarian assistant &amp; veterinarian technician<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are both <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">careers that require a DVM degree.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Similar Occupations to a Veterinarian<\/b><\/h3><hr \/><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Veterinary assistants, together with laboratory animal caretakers, are in charge of the daily animal care-related activities and the manipulation of technology, instrument sterilization, and preparation for surgery. The minimal requirement for this position is a high-school diploma, and specific certifications aren\u2019t necessary. However, there is an exam proposed by the AALAS for those looking to prove their knowledge.<\/span><\/p><h4><b>Veterinary Assistant<\/b><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clinics and pet hospitals usually employ veterinary assistants. About 8% of the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">vet assistant jobs<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are related to tasks in laboratories of educational institutions or research centers.\u00a0 As far as the working environment is considered, veterinary assistants have the highest rates of job-related injuries and illnesses on a national level. Usually, they work part-time, including holidays, weekends, and nights.<\/span><\/p><h4><b>Veterinary Technician<\/b><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Veterinary technicians work in diagnostics by<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">performing medical tests, often under the supervision of a veterinarian. Aspiring veterinary technicians need to attend a two-year program in veterinary technology to gain an associate degree. They also need to pass a credentialing exam for which the regulations differ according to state laws. Similarly, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">veterinary technician jobs<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are mostly offered by private clinics and hospitals (90%), while educational institutions employ some 4%.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Pay<\/b><\/h3><hr \/><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2018, veterinarians earned 142.4% more than the average for all occupations and almost 16% more than other health practitioners. The highest-paid were those giving veterinary services at $93,830 and those who worked for social advocacy organizations at $93,900. Workers in the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">veterinarian assistant &amp; veterinarian technician<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> positions gained the averages of $37,880 and $40,360, respectively.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2018, veterinarian technicians that worked in educational institutions like universities and colleges gained 15.5% more than those working in veterinary services. Veterinary assistants working in colleges and universities also gained more than those working in veterinary practices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regular veterinarians have the highest salaries. In 2018, they gained 132.4% and 147.7% more than veterinary assistants and technicians, respectively.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Job Outlook<\/b><\/h3><hr \/><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">veterinarian job growth<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, employment is expected to increase with a staggering 18% growth rate until 2028. For comparison, the average employment growth rate for all occupations is 5%. Given this data, a bright future awaits veterinarian assistants and technicians that have a 19% estimated employment rate between 2008 and 2018.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h4><b>Job Prospects<\/b><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Given the BLS information, both future and present veterinarians have nothing to worry about. Job prospects look good, and the biggest influence on these numbers is the increasing number of pet owners, as well as the increased overall awareness of pet ownership benefits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">veterinary job postings<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> will increase as a result of the continuous advancement of veterinary medicine. Nowadays, veterinarian clinics can offer many more diagnostic opportunities and treatment methods than five years ago. Some of these include organ transplant and cancer treatment for pets, which, in turn, increases the need for specialized staff to manage the workload.<\/span><\/p><hr \/><h2><b>FAQ<\/b><\/h2><hr \/><h3><b>What jobs are in the veterinary field?<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides a veterinarian, other jobs in the veterinary field include:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Veterinary assistant <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014 They help veterinarians perform medical tests and diagnose animal illnesses and injuries.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Laboratory animal caretaker<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 They are responsible for the everyday feeding, cleaning, bathing of animals, equipment sterilization, etc.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Veterinary technologists and technicians<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 They offer medical care to animals under the supervision of veterinarians.
