Because of Cummings School, I made friends that I know I will have forever, got opportunities to work in amazing places like Belize and Kenya, and learned so much about a career that I love.

Despite my initial focus on international and conservation medicine, Cummings School helped me develop a love of clinical, companion-animal medicine. I wasn’t expecting that. I’ll be moving on soon to a small-animal rotating internship to explore clinical medicine further.

Doctor of Philosophy

Master of Science

Aaron Lambert, VG22

It’s always been my dream to become a veterinarian, but when I first applied to schools of veterinary medicine, I didn’t get into as many as I’d hoped I would. I wasn’t going to stop chasing my dream, though, so I considered alternate pathways, and Tufts’ Master of Science in Infectious Disease and Global Health degree seemed perfect for me—I figured it would set me up for success later.

The Master of Science in Animals and Public Policy program is unique. I can’t think of any other programs quite like it, that allow you to focus on both animals and public policy. It catered directly to the specific thing I knew I wanted to do, and I’ve loved exploring all aspects of the program.

Also, my peers came from many different backgrounds and viewed problems from angles that were completely different from the ones I was trained to see. It was an amazing experience!
