I'm sure all of you current vets and vet students get inundated with pre-vet questions but I was hoping I could get your opinions on wildlife medicine. I am very interested in wildlife medicine, public health, and conservation biology. I am trying to decide where to go to vet school this fall and have narrowed my choices down to Penn, Cornell, Davis, Tufts, and Colorado. For various reasons, Penn makes the most sense. However, Penn does not seem to have a strong wildlife program. They do not have a wildlife clinic and they only offer one elective related to wildlife medicine. In fact, they seem to offer the least number of electives in any field compared to the other schools listed above. For those of you at the above schools, can you tell me about your wildlife programs? Do you think it's important to go to a school with a strong wildlife program if you think that may be a field of interest post vet school? Thank you for any incite you can provide!
