Wildlife medicine?

So I am applying to two offshore schools- SGU and SMU, very attractive for a variety of reasons, largely financial.

I am just wondering if any of you know if attending either would be a barrier towards becoming a wildlife vet- I want to do field work in wildlife epidemiology. I have been concerned of late. yes, i realize the jobs are competitive. but is AVMA accreditation really the end all in such an international field? Would a phD in a wildlife field + my DVM from the offshore school be enough? I have seen that internships occasionally specify "accreditation" as a requirement. Any information would be of help, but please no negative, unfounded speculation.

thanks!
