Answer 1

The correct difference in educational requirements between a veterinarian and a veterinary technician is:

A veterinarian needs a PhD or a professional degree, while a veterinary technician needs an associate’s degree.

Veterinarians typically need to complete a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree, which is a professional degree, after completing a bachelor's degree. In contrast, veterinary technicians generally complete an associate’s degree in veterinary technology.
