Has anyone had any experience or have any thoughts about DVM/PhD programs?
I'm currently halfway through a thesis-based Master's program (toxicology) and applying for veterinary school for admission in 2011, after completion of my program.
I would like to continue in research AND be a vet, so this sounds perfect. And some of the programs are really well-funded. Spending around 14 consecutive years in higher education does sound a bit painful--I just need to try think too hard about spending the entirety of my twenties in universities
Anyone else applying? How insanely competitive are these programs? I haven't been able to find applied vs. admitted stats or successful applicant stats for any of them.
