Could you get a veterinary degree?

Nope, Duke does not have a veterinary school - there are only 20-some veterinary schools in the U.S. Here's a list: http://www.avma.org/education/cvea/colleges_accred... If you want to go to Duke because you live in North Carolina, NCSU does have a program.

Veterinary Assistant instructions (must you take them) take some year (2 semesters) and are result, as yet, in no certification. As an Assistant, you're rather an LPN in human medicine. maximum of your initiatives would be animal restraint and cage cleansing. Veterinary Technician instructions take 2 years and do bring about being qualified. it somewhat is the equivalent of an RN in human medicine. As such, you could close surgical procedures etc. Veterinary Tech. affiliate is something of an in-between, i might anticipate, of the two above. extra duties, yet nonetheless no certifications.
