equivalent degree (schools, university, to live in)

[ylg008]

I have a question: If I've graduated 6 years veterinary medicine in Europe, country of Romania, what should I do to come and work as a qualified vet in the US? or where can I find some documents about how can I equivalate my degrees? thank you!

What state and what type of job? You don't have a visa?

National Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners http://www.nbvme.org/?id=12 Exact requirements and licensing would, I assume, vary by state.

Go to the school from which you graduated and ask them if they have info on working in other countries. U.S. Embassy there may have a "Study USA" office. You could also contact schools of veterinary medicine in the U.S. (University of California at Davis is one I know but there are others). Some jobs you're interested in may not require degrees. You may want to talk to corporations in the field (e.g., vet pharmaceuticals).

But, of course, getting a job offer and a visa to work in the U.S. if your big hurdle. May want to get an appointment at the embassy (or walk with an immigration lawyer). Thought of also looking into the same process for Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc?

This is great info. I used to live in Davis and also thought of the vet school there. Why don't you contact the university and ask them if you would need to take courses in the US. You may be able to come on a student or research visa. Then, you look for a nice American to marry you so you can become a citizen
