Hi there! It sounds like you're considering a rewarding career in veterinary medicine, which is fantastic! Transitioning from a B.Sc. in India to a veterinary career in the USA involves a few more steps, as an M.Sc. alone isn't sufficient to practice as a veterinarian.
In the U.S., practicing veterinarians need a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree. After completing your M.Sc., you'd need to apply to a veterinary school accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association. Programs typically last about four years, and they'll provide you with the comprehensive training necessary to care for animals effectively.
It's also important to take the North American Veterinary Licensing Examination (NAVLE) after your DVM to become licensed to practice.
While this path might seem lengthy, the journey is incredibly rewarding. As you work through your studies, gaining hands-on experience through internships or working with animals can be immensely helpful and fulfilling.
If you're still considering your options or have more specific questions about navigating this career path, I highly recommend booking a video consult with us at Dial A Vet. We can provide more personalized guidance to help you on your exciting journey!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
