> #5: Merck: veterinary medicine, PhD
I'm really curious what sort of path takes someone from training to be a vet to heading up a global pharmaceuticals company.
- dbcooper 10y agoAnimal models of disease are very important for drug development.
- pcrh 10y agoIf anything, veterinary medicine is more often more scientific that human clinical medicine due to the greater ease with which experimental approaches can be performed on animals compared to humans.
- chris11 10y agoI'd say a PhD from vet school is just as relevant as a PhD in med school. You are dealing with the same problems, just with a much wider patient type.
