Many veterinarians own and operate their own clinics. This means they don't have defined fringe benefits like a standard employee.\n\nYou should consider calling some local veterinarians and asking if you could do an interview for your school project. Don't be discouraged if the first person you call turns you down. If you ask nicely and act professionally I'm sure you will find a veterinarian willing to talk with you. You might even be able to shadow a veterinarian for a day to find out more about what goes on in a veterinary clinic.

I think many international medical grads work hard to get a double 99,because they dont want their score to be a limting factor( there are already so many of them).I know atleast 15 guys in my medical school who have got a double '99'.

Wow!  What a great career goal, good luck to you!\n\nA quick search of a few vet schools revealed some interesting information.  Some of them require a certain number of pre-vet hours and some of them require a degree for admission.\n\nCheck the admission requirements for the schools you wish to apply to.  If they only require hours, ultimately the vet school will confer your degree.  If they require a degree, then your current program may not be adequate for admission.\n\nUnderstanding the requirements of the school you wish to attend will ensure that you are properly prepared when application time rolls around.\n\nBest Wishes!

There are military Vets (veterans), and there are Veterinarians.  I assume you want the latter. Since it is Memorial Day Weekend, be INSPIRED (use spell check)by one of them, and do some good when you can.

i read your previous question. i'm not a doctor from india but i can understand your position. i'm a pre-med student n i can understand how hard it is to become a doctor. and not getting a deserved job on top of that is just unfair. i think u should come to U.S. and should take the required exams. until u get a deserved position (depending on your specialization), you can work in a lab and do research or something related to your field. you said your fiancee lives here, so, if she's willing to support you, you guys will make it soon thereafter. \n hope this helps.

Please check the following site for\nMedical Education in the US and how foreign doctors can work in USA.\nhttp://www.fulbright.co.uk/eas/studyus/subjects/medicine.html#apply\nI have worked with Indian doctors wanting to go to USA.They adopt the following strategy:\n1.They take USMLE part 1 and part 2 exams in India.\n2.For the 3rd part they have to go to USA as the exam is conducted there only.\n3.Normally visa for doctors is discouraged and as such they go for a MPH or other allied graduate  programs in USA.\n4. They have to take GRE/TOEFL for getting admission in these programs.\nYou may contact me admit2003atrediffmail.com\nGood Luck\nNBS\nAdmission Source\nSCO 139-141\nSector 17C\nChandigarh\nIndia

You are senior and you have no idea where to look to get the answer to this question. I recommend start off by looking and the requirements needed to get a veterinarian degree.

Go to UCD. do NOT major in biology. Instead, take an easy major and focus your energy on pre-med pre-req classes. That is the best strategy for med school. About 11% of Davis Med matriculants were UCD undergrads, so you have to work hard for it.\n\nI have **MANY** friends who are Indian physicians. They cannot get licensed to practice in America because they need to redo their residencies, take the Boards and so forth. It is a hassle because American medical programs consider these students low-priority. \n\nSo how do I know them? Because they all switched to public health and I met them during graduate school.

Volunteers are needed everywhere. It would just be a matter of finding a particular organization to join where your talents/ resources will be put to use. I don't know what type of overseas volunteer work you are looking for, but I personally am involved in one based in Wisconsin involving medical personnel (doctors, nurses, dentists) who volunteer their time and skills in poor countries providing much needed surgeries and dental work in communities where people otherwise have no means of acquiring them. The group goes every couple of years all on their own personal expense, to do just this. It is a very rewarding effort and I notice that the people who are involved continue to be, for many years. Let me know if this is a part of your specialty so I can get you in touch with the proper people. Good Luck to you and your big heart. I am sure numerous lives will be greatly affected by your sincere generosity.

You asked a lot of questions, so I'll try to answer them all:\n\nFirst, the MCAT is just a test required for entry into medical school... if you are already in medical school and are coming to the US for residency, you don't have to worry about it.\n\nThe USMLE (US Medical Licensing Exam) is required for medical licensure.  It is broken up into 3 steps.  Generally, US medical students take Step 1 (basic science knowledge) after their 2nd year of medical school, Step 2 (clinical knowledge & mostly diagnosis-focused) after their 3rd year of medical school, and Step 3 (clinical knowledge & mostly managment-focused) after their first year of residency.  Step 2 is broken into 2 sections- Clinical Knowledge (multiple choice on computer) and Clinical Skills (12 standardized patients in an office setting).\n\nIf you are going to be graduating from medical school in India, and then applying for residency here in the US, you will take both Step1 & Step2 before applying (you don't have to schedule them with any time between, although it would probably be helpful to keep a month between for studying).  You don't have to worry about Step 3 until you start residency.\n\nLike stated by the other answerer, go to usmle.org to apply.  All of the tests are very expensive, around $500 each, but the exact prices will be on that website.  The tests are conducted at Prometric Testing facilities, and there are so many of these that you won't have to travel far to get to one from any US location.  The Step 2 Clinical Skills, however, is only located in 5 cities in the US so you have to schedule this one a few months ahead of time to be assured you get the location & date you want.  Basically, for all of them, you apply at usmle.org and they mail you a scheduling permit after 2-4wks that you then use to schedule your test online.\n\nNow, about preparing- there are many Review books for preparation.  The most popular ones are "First Aid for the USMLE" and the "Step Up" series.  Kaplan is a very popular test preparation company and they offer an online question bank that most people subscribe to for a month or two for practice questions.  Find more information about that at www.kaplan.com .  Also, many foreign medical graduates take the 8 week Kaplan Review courses for the USMLE since they generally have to get a much higher score than US grads to get the same residency spots.  The courses are very expensive ($3,000-$5,000), but look on their website for all of that information.  You can usually get boot-leg copies of the videos of the lectures they give from e-bay for less than $100.\n\nBasically, there is a lot of information you are asking about and I think you would benefit from looking around different medical message boards such as www.prep4usmle.com or studentdoctor.net\n\nGood Luck!

Commerce is not a bad career line. You should pursue in your own field. If, however, you have aspiration in animal care, you can do a lot in this field. Many universities offer variety of courses without considering previous qualifications, specially, in certificate courses.

I'm taking their Medical Coding & Billing Diploma program.  I'm about half way finished.  So far I'm happy with my studies however I really wish there were interaction between students in the same program through a discussion board - espiecially once I get to the actual coding courses. It would be great to communicate back and forth with the instructor and other students to get some "real world" feedback.  Books can only teach you so much.

if you have a school of dentistry near your home, try going to them and see if they will allow a senior student to "practice" on you as a volunteer. That is what I do here in the US and so far I have not had much problems. they appear to know what they are doing.

not me, but how about we take courses at the same time.  I was wanting either:  Medical office assistant, Medical Administrative assistant, or just administrative assistant.  I got the pamphlet from Saskatoon Business College.  These are the only ones that I am interested in that they offer my other choices are:   Legal Admin Assistant, Accounting, Computer accounting technician, info tech specialist, business admin, financial services assistant.  Don't worry, I won't take the medical office assistant one if you don't want me to, dork.  I am not going to copy you.  Even if I did take it, it wouldn't be because I am copying, Amber!  I just need to further my education and that one has the least amount of math in the course.  I just want a steady income that involves as little math as possible!

Go to the Website of the AMVA (American Veterinarian Medical Association) http://www.avma.org/\n\nOr go to the Webpage http://www.avma.org/education/ecfvg/default.asp\n\nIt tells you how to get certified if you're a foreign educated veterinarian.  I'm sorry but I don't understand their terminology, though you probably will be familiar with some of it.\n\nGood luck!
