Are there any non-traditional people that have pursued, or are pursuing, a DVM (orVMD)/PhD? I was more or less intent on obtaining the professional degree alone, but began to rethink that approach after completing a summer research fellowship I was awarded this past summer. I love research and feel that there are unique contributions that veterinarian-scientists can make to both animal and human (animal) health. At 38, I am a little concerned about the time commitment and job prospects. I would be interested in hearing different points of view.
I should add that I am pre-vet, looking to apply for the next cycle. (I apologize if I should have posted this in the pre-ver forum.)
