Veterinary education is the tertiary education of veterinarians. To become a veterinarian, one must first complete a veterinary degree in Doctor of Veterinary Medicine.
In the United States and Canada, almost all veterinary medical degrees are first entry degrees, and require several years of previous study at the university level. Many veterinary schools outside North America use the title "Faculty of Veterinary Science" instead of "College of Veterinary Medicine" or "School of Veterinary Medicine", and some veterinary schools in China, Japan and South Korea Veterinary schools are distinct from departments of animal science offering a pre-veterinary curriculum, teaching the biomedical sciences , and providing graduate veterinary education in disciplines such as microbiology, virology, and molecular biology.
