How do I gain experience required for the DVM applications?

Applicants should focus on acquiring veterinary and animal experience in four major areas: small animal, large animal, exotic animal, and research. Applicants should try to gain at least 400 hours of experience in each of these four areas. On the veterinary application, VMCAS has many different categories under which experience may be categorized (for example, categories will include food animal; mixed animal; species specific categories such as swine, equine, bovine; and many others).

It is not expected that an applicant gain significant experience in every area. NCSU Students are, however, encouraged to utilize the VetPAC portfolio builder to help categorize their experience appropriately as it is earned. More.
