New Challenges in Our Career

Medicine Veterinary is facing important challenges in technology, social matters and education. These areas represent an important roll for the career and their professionals. These problems should change to give more respect for the career itself and the veterinarian professional.

Technology in veterinary should said, that every day is growing more and more, but this use of the technology depends mostly on the resources of each veterinary clinic and of course the proprietary of it.

To my mind, the technology in North America and some countries in Europe, have very developed clinics with the use of the ultimate medical equipment and technology, compare with most of Latin America countries. I think that this difference of technology between countries is because of social matters. (economical issues, culture, political issues etc)

The social matters, I think is the most challenge that the career is facing. The Veterinary Medicine is not social recognize as much as should be, most of the people does not recognize or understand the important of the discipline, the MVZ helps and contribute a lot, to a development of a countries, helping to a different animal industries.

This area is very controversial point, because it is not social recognize in most countries of Latin America but is very recognize in other countries. I think that this should change, because people doesn’t valorize and respect the career, as it should be in every part of the world. This area also depends on the education of every country and also the professional colleges and Universities needs to focus their efforts to promote and explain the benefits and the importance of the MVZ career.

Education is another of the important areas, which is facing with different challenges in our career; education of course to my mind is the most important area. Some countries like Canada and United States take a student approximately eight years to graduate, and in most parts of Latin America it takes five to six years. That show us, one of the important reasons why the career is recognize and respect more in some countries than others.

In conclusion, I think that these three areas are connected between them; one area depends on the other one. The most important one is education, because people associated the time that it takes to graduate to the respect of a career, but what they really don’t know, is that veterinary should be respected as what it is “medicine”.

People should respect our career here in Latin America, so like this we can developed more every day in the areas connected with technology.
