Overview[edit | edit source]

Schools of veterinary medicine provide comprehensive education and training in animal health, welfare, and disease prevention. The curriculum generally covers a wide range of topics, including anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, microbiology, surgery, and animal nutrition. In addition to classroom learning, students gain hands-on experience through clinical rotations in various veterinary settings.

Accreditation[edit | edit source]

Accreditation of veterinary schools is a critical factor for prospective students, as it ensures that the institution meets specific standards of education quality. In the United States, the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) is responsible for accreditation through its Council on Education. Similarly, other countries have their own accrediting bodies, such as the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) in the United Kingdom.
