I Kilpatrick, Dr. Sandy Cook, «Dr. Christina McRae, Dr. Wendy Korver Bowmanville Veterinary Clinic Section Two The Canadian Statesman. Bowmanville, Wednesday, December 2,1992 5 For Your Information . . . A Career In Veterinary Medicine • As we reach the middle of the school year, many students are considering considering what career they want to pursue and what university to choose. Some of you no doubt are considering Veterinary Veterinary Medicine as your first choice. 1 The requirements for admission to veterinary programs are constantly changing so it is wise to check admission admission requirements on a yearly basis. There are currently four universities offering a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine Medicine (DVM) degree in Canada. They are the University of Saskatchewan (Sask.), the University of Guelph (Ont.), St. Hyacynthe (Que.), and the University of Prince Edward Island (P.E.I.). As it is likely that everyone reading this would be applying to the University of Guelph my comments will be directed to this institution. Any student considering becoming a veterinarian should have a strong aptitude aptitude in the sciences, especially biology biology and chemistry. The first year can be spent at any university offering a science science degree, however, it is of benefit to attend the University of Guelph to become accustomed to the semester system. Once the required subjects have been successfully completed, an application may be submitted to enter into the College of Veterinary Medicine. Medicine. Many more applications are received received than spots available so an 80% average or more is usually required in the first year courses. Students will increase their chance of admission if they have gained experience experience by working in a veterinary clinic and by haying farm experience. The selection is NOT based solely on marks but rather is a combination of interview, written essay and marks. Before committing to six years of university (minimum) it is advisable to leam as much about ones prospective Police Seek Help in Solving Armed Robbery in Pickering •Crime Stoppers and the Durham Regional Police are asking for the Public's help in solving an Armed Robbery which occurred in Pickering on Thursday, September 3rd. Just after midnight three males walked into the Shelf Gas Station at 935 Liverpool Road South and confronted confronted the attendant.

A small amount of. cash was turned over to the robbers before they left eastbound through a lot and then over a fence. Before hopping hopping over the fence, the three suspects- joined three white males, aged 19-20, who were keeping watch. ; • • • ; . .

There are pros and cons to every profession. One should not enter Veterinary Medicine expecting expecting to become rich. New graduates earn between $35,000 to $40,000 per year. The hours are long and include responding to emergencies after normal normal working hours are over. Most veterinarians veterinarians are willing to talk to students students considering Veterinary Medicine as a career. I strongly urge anyone seriously seriously interested to speak with a veterinarian veterinarian to gain further insight into this challenging and rewarding career. Y.W.C.A.
