Hello all, so i'm new to this but when i found this forum it seemed a good place to ask my questions. i've had this nagging thought on my mind for the past maybe year or year and a half. I've spent the last three years of my undergrad degree getting experience to get into vet school. I applied in my third year and got an interview and then got waitlisted and this year got an interview again (at the WCVM - i'm from Canada) and believe that i have a very good chance of getting in. The only problem is that i have been thinking more and more about doing human medicine. One of the big reasons is that i'm slightly allergic to quite a few animals (though i've put up with it at the vet clinic i work at and all the volunteer work i've done). I don't want to do your typical private practice - i want to work with wildlife - possibly in zoos or in wildlife medicine where i can work outdoors (hopefully). But then at the same time i know i would love to work with humans because i love knowing about the human body and how it works and i like dealing with people (though i know i won't be able to work outdoors). Has anybody else had this predicament??? How do you choose what to do??
