The senior veterinarian is one of the ranks of the Bundeswehr . Senior veterinarians are medical officers with a license to practice as a veterinarian . The rank is determined by the Federal President with the order of the Federal President on the rank designations and the uniform of the soldiers on the basis of the Soldiers Act .

Positions

Senior veterinarians hold prominent top service positions in the medical services of the Bundeswehr , which are only achieved by very few veterinarians. Senior veterinarians can be department heads or department heads of one of the monitoring bodies for public law tasks (in particular the Monitoring Center East with a focus on veterinary matters), the Institute for Microbiology of the Bundeswehr or one of the central institutes of the medical service (in particular the Kiel location with a focus on veterinary matters). The highest specialist in veterinary affairs is the stage manager veterinary medicine of the Bundeswehr with the rank of senior veterinarian.

appointment

For appointment as a senior veterinarian or hiring with this rank, the same legal principles and requirements apply , for example with regard to minimum length of service , career affiliation and employment relationship as for senior officers . Instead of a license to practice as a doctor or dentist 's license to practice as a veterinarian requirement. If you are employed as a senior veterinarian, instead of being licensed as a regional or specialist doctor, qualifications as a specialist veterinarian or two years of work as an official veterinarian are required.
