<p>@i<em>wanna</em>be_Brown I actually want to do both. EIS service terms are 2 years in length so it’s not a life commitment. </p>
<p>Your point about AIDS is well taken and there are plenty of nonzoonotic pathogens like TB that warrant research so perhaps an MD might work better. Plus working with Doctors Without Borders would be very rewarding. </p>
<p>My main concern is the lack of vet schools that also have a public health school/graduate program in disease ecology. I can only name Cornell, UPenn, and Illinois.</p>
<p>I’ve looked into Emory’s MD/PhD in disease ecology program. Do you think being in Atlanta will help me network and get a better chance at EIS?</p>
<p>I’ve got a lot of time to make this decision though. Thanks </p>
