Hi there,
I already did a search on this issue, and found no clear answer (as far as I can tell).
I am doing veterinary research (involving both live animals and animal specimen testing) under the direct supervision of a veterinarian. Do I put this as veterinary or research experience? or do I "double-dip" and put it in both categories (splitting the total hours: ie if I had 1000 hours of experience, I'd put 600 being spent with lab animals as veterinary experience, 400 doing specimen testing as research experience)?
Thanks!
EDIT:
I found this on the VMCAS information pop-up:
"Research should include any experience in a research environment. Please report research experiences in this section, even if they were also veterinary experiences. "
