A: FROM MENTOR SHARON ROSH, DVM
IN NJ
To answer your question about gender discrimination in veterinary
medicine, I
would say there is not much anymore. About 70-80% of graduates
from veterinary
colleges in the US are women. I have been in practice for
about 8 years and when
I first went to work, there was still some "good old
boy" politics and
discrimination, but now that has all but disappeared. It is
a good field to work
in and the pressure of having to prove you are "as good
as a man" is now longer a
factor in veterinary medicine, thank goodness!!
Good luck,
Sharon Rosh, DVM
