Q: Can I use a veterinary degree in missions?

A: Yes.

Answer from Jack Voelkel, Urbana's Missionary-in-Residence, who has hundreds of answers online http://www.urbana.org/next-steps/ask-jack
You will find that a number of mission agencies operate farms or send personnel to farming areas to show nationals better patterns of agriculture and animal husbandry. Two entities come to mind: World Concern and Food for the Hungry.

I would also strongly urge you to consider coming to the Urbana Convention. There you will be able to ask your questions to a incredibly large number of agencies, large and small, about your particular interest in animals.

Editor's note: also browse MissionFinder for links to veterinary agencies.

Also contact Christian Veterinary Mission.

Finally, read the amazing story of Dr Tracey Goen.

A: Yes.

Answer from Richard, a DVM
