Hey y’all,
I am currently an undergrad student on the path to vet school. I am interested in a career in wildlife conservation medicine/pathology and I am looking for advice about career prospects and seeking opportunities in the field. I am currently working in a wildlife disease lab at my university (not exactly doing research but assisting grad students and occasionally vets) and really enjoying it but I would also like to get some field experience and research experience. Outside of contacting professors/vets and job boards, are there any other ways to find out about opportunities? And are there any wildlife/pathology vets on here that could provide some insight about what the career involves on a day to day basis? (What do you enjoy/dislike about your job?). I would appreciate any and all information or advice!
