Can I get a graduate degree in veterinary medicine in England and then work in the US


Can I get a graduate degree in veterinary medicine in England and then work in the US?
I live in Georgia in the United States. Can I do my bachelors in biology or animal science in Georgia and then do my graduate school in England to recieve my doctorate of veterinary medicine or is it to complicated to do that meaning would the grades and bachelors degree in US be transferable to England and would the Doctorate degree from England work in the US, ect?

IM SURE YOU WOULD HAVE TO PASS SOME SORT OF AMERICAN TEST TO PRACTICE HERE, BUT THEIR INSTITUTIONS ARE GENERALLY ACCEPTED IN THE U.S.

In the US a student has to do 2-4 years of undergraduate work and then go to vet school for 4 more years. In england a veterinarian only has the equivalent of a bachelor's degrees. Most of their vets are not doctors. The system of education isn't easily transfered to the US. It would make more sense if you want to work in the US, then do your undergraduate work in England and then pursue your DVM here in the US. If you want to work in England then it's best to do all of your education there. There are some foreign schools that transfer into the US. (at least one is in England). Those schools are listed along with US schools here: http://www.aavmc.org

if you do your masters in the UK and want to pursue vet school in the US after wards you need to be aware that most master's programs in the UK are only one year long. some vet schools in the US may not think that u got enough experience in a one year program to join their school and may make you take some extra courses to get a US masters degree equivalent.
