Expert speak
Geeta Sharma
Veterinary doctor, Delhi
The veterinary profession over the years has armed itself with more professional skills and advanced techniques, expanding the potential to contribute scientifically to the care and treatment of the animals. The responsibility of a veterinary doctor is immense as he/she is responsible for the well-being of animals. The doctor should be able to gauge the symptoms shown by the animals. It is crucial to understand the need of the patients and the concerns of the owners. I would like to bust a common notion that men are more suitable for this profession.
This is totally false as there are enough opportunities for women as well. Women are working in veterinary labs, academic area, government as well as private sectors. The female veterinarians who are working in the rural areas don't get to be frontrunners in this profession because of family commitments and less exposure to technology.
Nevertheless, gender is not a barrier in this profession. Right from working in hospitals to setting up private clinics, there is a vast scope. Though this field is quite challenging, it is a profession that makes you feel empowered with a sense of goodness.
