The Doctor of Veterinary Medicine program emphasizes the importance of core training in comparative biology and medicine, including all primary clinical disciplines and domestic animal species. Opportunities exist for elective training across a wide variety of more specialized subjects, such as zoo, exotics, and wildlife medicine, marine sciences, clinical nutrition, and various clinical specialties (cardiology, oncology, theriogenology, surgery). Career Opportunities in Veterinary Medicine Opportunities for employment in veterinary medicine are excellent. Nearly 70 percent of the professionally active veterinarians in the United States are engaged in private practice. Some practices are limited to types of animals, such as food animal, equine, or companion animal practices. Others involve specialties such as surgery, ophthalmology, cardiology, or radiology. In addition to private practice, there are numerous teaching and research opportunities in academic, government, and industrial settings. Expanding areas include laboratory animal medicine and public health.
