Hello Again!!
Quick question, I tried searching the forums, but couldn't find the "right" answer.
I'm talking with a Research Vet at a local hospital/medical research center about shadowing. This vet does very little actual animal work, none of the 3 staff vets do. On occasion they over see surgeries on large animals (sheep, pigs, monkeys), but the techs and PhDs do almost everything. If there are very few opportunities to shadow the vet doing something, and I shadow a tech-who is doing things like supervising surgeries of large animals (the PhDs aren't supervised when working on mice/rats/rabbits/etc)-can that count as vet experience? I figured watching a Vet fill out paper work wouldn't help me very much
I have independent research experience (its cellular research, but it includes being on an Abstract submitted at a major conference, and being on two upcoming papers) so I don't need the hours/experience in that aspect, I need the research vet hours......opinions?
