(EDIT: Title is supposed to say Phd post vet school. Oops.) Hey all! I'm a 4th year eyeing the prospects of what all is out there post graduation. I love birds, and I want to work with birds, and as long as birds are in the picture I'll work with just about any other species too. I recently saw an open position for a Phd program, and was wondering if anyone's heard of if it's really that career-furthering to go for a Phd on top of their DVM if they do still want some exposure to the medical side of things. I enjoy research as long as I'm getting some exposure to live vertebrates and I'd be perfectly happy ending up in academia, but I'm not sure if doing a three year Phd program straight out of 4th year would be the best idea. Any thoughts?
