I made it through Vet School!

Guess what!! I am now an official DVM/PhD from Tufts! That's why I have not been around much - studying, finishing my time at the small animal hospital and now am working at Tufts ER facility in Wampole,Mass. I LOVE it.

My quandary is I am offered two positions I have decided on. (There were many - so many places need vets I guess, I did not know there was such a need!) - one here in Boston not far from the university where I could always take extra courses and be near my mentors and another near my home town in Vermont. I am leaning toward the first because I love Boston but it's tough. Any input is welcome. Oh also, the one here is a cats only clinic who has a vet retiring in mid September and I could work here until then.

It's been a long road- but I am glad part of my goal is reached. (I still want to open my own cat hospital and I have my own ideas about that.)

Thanks to all who supported me in the last year!

Congrats!!

Congrats!! I am In Salem MA. Go Go and do the goodness for the animals.

Congratulations! How exciting!

Hooray! Congrats!

Congratulations! How wonderful. I'm sure you'll make the right decision for you.

Congrats! I've actually been thinking of applying myself this next year. I'm 10 years out of my B.S. program so I don't know if I stand much of a chance, but figured it would be worth applying for anyways.

Congratulations Dr. Siobhan!!

So far as the jobs go, which position would allow you the biggest opportunity to learn from your colleagues that you will be working with?

Congratulations, that's awesome

Dr. Siobhan,

Congrats!

Do you want to be a city vet or a country vet? Yes, I know that there are cities in VT, but Boston is Boston.

If I were you, I might weigh the cost of living in one vs the other, especially if there are loans to repay.

Congrats, Congrats, Congrats, That is a fantastic accomplishment...

ah, what to do what to do.....


I would lean toward boston - there are LOADS of people who would kill to work there...vermont will always be there and I'm sure that there will be tons of opportunity later for that state...........

I'd choose Boston for the time being.

Congratulations Dr.Siobhan!

Congratulations! And bless your heart for all the care and kindness you'll bring to your work.

Wow, that's great. CONGRATS

Woo Hoo! Congratulations on a great accomplishment!

I subscribe to Catnip...which I'm sure you know is a newsletter put out by Tufts University.

That's wonderful news, congratulations!

Congratulations! If you were looking to specialise in the long-term, there is a huge shortage of certified avian vets, given that birds are the 3rd most popular pet after cats and dogs the world could be your oyster! If you like birds that is

That's fantastic news! Congratulations!
