My years as a veterinary student at the University of Chile

I have spent the last 6 years studying veterinary medicine at the University of Chile. Now I`m finally a graduate.
I have to say that i`m much satisfied whit all my years as a student: I had the best education whit the best teachers that I could have been. But I may say that the bad organization  and the lack of comunication between the undergraduate departments leaves much to be desired.
After the thirt year I`m already knew wath I wanted, I want to be a specialist in medical care of domestic animals. But teachers from other subjects don`t understand that and neither want to know about your priorities. And that hapens whit all kind of classes! even with the medical teachers hapens. For example y remember that the specialist in feline medicine`s professor wanted that we knew everything, and when I say everything is literally all! disesases, treatments, dosages, tipe of breaths, tipes of alternative medicine, how to manage them... it`s usefull yes, but whit vets that already like it, but the problem is that everyone have to do this subjects, and wath about the people that don`t like it? or the people who never going to work in medicine and is devoted to animal production? I see it as a lack of time for people to found that subject not interested, because their can do other things like relaxing electives instead of filling their heads with knowledge they never use.
Besides that, teachers are very sellfish among them because they think that only is their subject that matters and the others don`t. They all think the same way so at the end  the victimis are the student that have to learn all the things not because is the best for him, but it is because the teacher want to proove that their subject is the best. It is like a ego battle.. and if there are no communication between the proffesors and also between them and the students, things will be always the same, the same endless sadness story.
