I have tried to find the alumni of the program however couldn't find much info. many of the students studying in the department have some sort of vet background even though you can find a tiny portion of the grad students come from the regular biological sciences area. I want to work in molecular genetics area in the future. would like to go on doing a post doc in this area. however my worry is when i apply for post doc positions will they treat me differently from a phd in biological sciences/genetics/molecular biology etc, saying my degree is Phd vet science.

i have been admitted to Phd in veterinary science program with specialization in genetics/parasitology at univ of kentucky. However i am not sure whether a phd in veterinary science is good for some one like me from a regular biology back ground. In this program i will be working in a genetics laboratory on parasite genetics. my worry is once i complete the degree, whether my profile will be typecasted as veterinary or will i be treated the same as a phd in biological science? I am inclined to take this offer as it is fully funded with a research assistantship. could someone please shed some light on this? Thanks in advance.
