You may envision someone who works in private practice, treating animals from dogs to birds.

You may know that it s possible to become a veterinary specialist in fields such as cardiology or dermatology. That description shows only one side of this great profession, though.

You'll hear from a consultant working on a swine project in China; an information specialist who gathers literature about primates; an extension veterinarian who educates livestock owners about health care; and a public health veterinarian who investigates outbreaks of deadly disease.

Career Choices includes extensive references, contact names, phone numbers, web sites, and E-mail addresses for hundreds of positions from private practice to specialization to alternative veterinary careers. Most require no additional training beyond the DVM degree. Essential reading for veterinarians and pre-veterinary students!
