Atuação do médico veterinário na área comercial: uma revisão de literatura

Abstract

The Mandatory Supervised Internship (ESO) plays a crucial role in the learning of veterinary medicine students, preparing them for entry into the job market. This report describes the activities carried out during ESO in a veterinary products distributor, Quattro, in the veterinary commercial area, under the supervision of veterinarian Arlindo Ivo da Costa, during the period from June 1st to September 8th, 2023, totaling 420 hours internship. During the internship, the student played the role of technical and commercial consultant for automated laboratories, dealing with the daily tasks of this role. Furthermore, the student produced a literature review that highlights the growing importance of veterinarians in the veterinary commercial area, considering recent changes in the pet market and its evolution. The report concludes that professionals working in this sector play a crucial role in veterinary laboratories, industries and distributors, and even in the formulation of veterinary products. Furthermore, it highlights the need for universities to better explore this segment, supporting the significant opportunities it offers to veterinary medicine students.
