Hi, From my knowledge of being a vet student myself, a VMD stands for veterinary medical doctor and a DVM stands for Doctor of veterinary medicine. VMD is the designation for veterinarians who have graduated from Penn I believe (University of Pennsylvania or Penn State-I don't recall where their vet school is). So there really should be no difference between these individuals, DVM's and VMD's curriculums are essentially the same(they are all certified vet schools). --- Lisa M Tieber [log in to unmask] [Posted in FML issue 2605]
