Resources
For more information on careers in veterinary medicine, talk to a college or university, your high school guidance counselor, or your local veterinarian. Many books are available on careers and on vet med in general - check your library. Zoo veterinarians belong to the American Association of Zoo Veterinarians, in Media, Pennsylvania. Contact them for still more information. 







A veterinarian must go to college for many years; jobs are not plentiful, and the workdays are long, but the excitement and satisfaction of helping zoo animals make it all worthwhile. Other zoo careers include veterinary technician, zookeeping, landscape, zoo architecture, nutrition, and more. There are many people who care for the animals, and there is always room for more dedicated, caring people.
