Veterinary medicine is a discipline at the intersection of medicine, biology, agronomy, and pharmacy. It focuses on the collective and individual health of farm and companion animals, as well as its implications for the environment, human health, and society.
At the forefront of managing public health issues and monitoring contagious diseases, veterinarians are also a driving force in human and animal biomedical research. In this sense, veterinary medicine is an indispensable link in global health.
