What’s the difference between a DVM and a bachelor vet program?

You’ve heard about DVM programs and about Bachelor of Veterinary Science programs.

But what’s the difference? Is there a difference?

In this clip, OzTREKK Territory Manager, Sarah gives an overview of the differences between a graduate and undergraduate vet program, including the education you require beforehand to be eligible and your career options after you graduate.

Veterinary Programs in Australia

The veterinary programs featured here hold full American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) accreditation This means that graduates are considered in the same category as graduates from North American veterinary schools when undertaking licensing examinations in North America. Graduates of these programs are eligible to sit the North American Veterinary Licensing Examination (NAVLE) along with graduates from AVMA-accredited veterinary colleges in the United States and Canada.
