Veterinary medicine is a discipline at the intersection of medicine, biology, agronomy, and pharmacy. It focuses on the collective and individual health of farm animals 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 infectious diseases, veterinarians also play a leading role in biomedical research involving both humans and animals. In this sense, veterinary medicine is an indispensable link in global health.
