A student who wants to have a career in obstetrics may study midwifery during his or her higher education. Midwifery looks at reproductive health, pregnancy, child birth and postpartum care to give students the tools needed to succeed professionally.

A program in pre-veterinary medicine can help prepare students who like to work with animals to go to veterinary school. Students pursuing a pre-vet course of study may also be able to work at an internship with a veterinarian in order to find out more about the profession.
