Then, after your 4 yr degree, you have to be accepted into a vet school, and that's another 4 yrs. After that, I think you have to do an internship/residency kind of like with med school, but for animals  and that can last several years depending on what you decide to specialize in (ie. surgery, internal medicine, etc). Surgery, of course will be a longer residency...I'm not sure what they call it veterinarians, but for doctors, it's called residency. Good luck!! Are you in high school? | Yeahh.. I'm a sophmore in high school.. I'm a year a head in science what science class should I take next year and senior year? I think there are things like anatomy and phsyics and I've done bio and chem.. Theres also AP bio.. What type of math classes do I need to take?
