Becoming A Veterinary Technician Essay

Decent Essays
After having already studied for a four-year bachelor's degree, a strong desire by an individual in order to study veterinary medicine for four more years must exist. In veterinary school, instructors learn their students animal medicine, which involves a lot of science math, communication, and some business administration. The graduates receive veterinary college diplomas that they can hang on their office walls. However what if you're interested in animals but you don't want to set through four years of veterinary school or lend all the money you'd need for it from the bank. You might think instead about becoming a veterinary technician a person who assist a veterinarian, you can usually do that with just a two-year college degree.

    According to RCVS Knowledge “it was until the founding of the veterinary school in Lyon, France by Claude Bourgelat in 1761 that the veterinary profession can be said to have started.” Veterinary medicine was started the same way that human medicine was discovered; people began teaching themselves because they felt that the care of their animals and the human population was important. Finding solutions to the problems animals were struggling with began with actually experiencing them. Many animals would die before a veterinarian was trained well enough to prevent a situation from happening. Once the school in Lyon’s was founded, it began education in veterinary medicine and allowed people to become experts in this profession.…
