So... I have over a thousand hours vet experience but I just checked the FAQ for Purdue University and it says that:
"What are some examples that would meet the veterinary experience requirement?
Veterinary experience is gained while working directly with a veterinarian. This can range from on the job shadowing to working with a veterinarian as an assistant in a clincial, research or regulatory setting."
Most of the vet experience I have is working with technicians and I've also spent a lot of time with vets but most of it is with technicians... I work at a specialty practice so I don't spend all my time with the vets--I spend a lot of time with techs and other assistants. I worked in the Neuro department and was an assistant so the techs spent more time with the doctors than I did. I've also helped out in ER a lot and have had the opportunity to work directly with doctors there and have asked them a lot of questions.
Now I'm wondering about the strength of my application since I don't have as much time directly working with vets as I should?
