Anhang V Tiermedizin

Annex V 5.4.2

This means that veterinarians are subject to the same system as physicians (5.1.1), dentists (5.3.2), and pharmacists (5.6.2): anyone who graduates from a university listed there within the EU has their diploma automatically recognised in the other member states.

The prerequisite is a minimum training period of five years at a university or equivalent institution. Locations outside the EU are not covered by this provision.
