My discipline is the Veterinary Medecine. I really think that is a very interesting area because is a bigger area. We need a lot of knowledges for do our job. Therefore, we must integrate many knowledges for have a complete discipline. Thus, in the next areas: technology, social matters and education, we have opinion like the Veterinay of future.

- Technology: This is a very important area, because the news technologies are very useful for our work. For example, we can take radiographs and thus make proper diagnosis. It's more easy and complete.
Furthermore, with the help of professionals from other areas (such as engineers, doctors or technicians) we can create solutions to many problems of human and animal health (for example, organ transplantation research)

- Social matters. Here is very important our role. We have a lot of areas to work. We must teach to the pet owners at maintain the good animals's health. If the people so this, we would have less disease. Many of the diseases of humans, are caused by zoonoses, so , if we if we teach animal care, public health will be better and this is good for all us: people and animals!

- Education: In this case, I think that we haven't a good education about the animals health and care, and we like the veterinaries of future can do a lot of things. In my opinion, the education about animals, in our country is only in the TV shows. There are two tv shows in Chile about animals ("La Ley de la Selva" and "Annimales"), and it is here where they teach about animals.

I think in our country, Chile, we need a lot of culture in the veterinary medical area. Missing value more our profession and that must begin with ourselves. We can be a leader in many things, but this is only possible if we are sure we can do our job.
