I'm interning at an equine hospital this summer in Ireland. Since it's a different country and the rules are different, I might be able to do more hands-on work than in America. I thought this would be a good thing.
However, another girl from the same program is doing an internship at a human medical hospital, and she told me that her pre-med advisor was really concerned about it. According to her, med schools freak out about students doing things they wouldn't be allowed to in the States, even though it was legal where they did those things. So she said I should probably avoid mentioning those things in my interview.
So what do you think it is for vet school? Is it a good thing if I'm broadening my experience with more hands-on work, or is it a potential liability that I shouldn't talk about in my vet school applications?
