Veterinary Medicine and Veterinary Science

A veterinarian (American English) or a veterinary sur­geon (British English), often shortened to vet, is a physician for animals and a practitioner of veterinary medicine. Vet­erinarians are usually ranked as the most intelligent and trustworthy among medical practitioners. They diagnose and treat disease in a variety of different species without verbal communication with their patients.

Many careers are open to specialists with veterinary de­grees. They work in clinical institutions and often practice in a limited field such as "companion animal" or pet medi­cine (small animals such as dog, cat, and pocket pets), pro­duction medicine or livestock medicine. Production medi­cine includes dairy cattle, beef cattle, swine, sheep, and poul­try, equine medicine (e. g., sport, race track, show, and rodeo), laboratory animal medicine, or reptile medicine. Vet­erinarians may specialize in medical disciplines such as sur­gery, dermatology or internal medicine after post-graduate training and certification.

Some veterinarians pursue post-graduate training and enter research careers, and have contributed to advances in many human and veterinary medical fields, including phar­macology and epidemiology. Research veterinarians were the first to isolate oncoviruses, Salmonella species, Brucella spe­cies, and various other pathogenic agents. Veterinarians were in the forefront in the effort to suppress malaria and yellow fever in the United States.Veterinarians determined the iden­tity of the botulism disease-causing agent; produced an anti­coagulant used to treat human heart disease; and developed surgical techniques for human beings, such as limb and or­gan transplants.
