I'm currently a senior in high school and my plan is to go pre-vet in the fall.
I have a few questions regarding the experience hours needed for application to veterinary school. I know animal experience and vet experience can be required, but I was wondering when this starts.
I'm currently an intern at a veterinary clinic, and have been since September, is this an experience I can add in my future applications? If so, I'm not working under an actual DVM, but instead I work under the head-technician but occasionally help or shadow the doctors. Would this mean these hours are just considered animal experience?
Also, how do you or do you have to record your hours? Do they need to be verified somehow? (I want to make sure I get anything I need as I go in the future years).
I'm also considering working in an wildlife sanctuary in Africa this summer or next, and was wondering if this time would count. If so, once again, how would I record this so any future schools know of my experience?
Thank you so much.
