Anastasia McIntosh (DVM '07) is helping lead a global effort to eliminate dog-mediated rabies deaths, traveling to remote Tanzanian villages to vaccinate animals and protect vulnerable communities.
Earth Day is a reminder that human health is not isolated. Our health is intricately linked to the animals we share the world with and the environment we all inhabit. To celebrate, we've curated a few standout episodes of the Extraordinary Vets podcast with host Dr. Donna Harris.
Matt Davis (DVM ’03) believes in giving back. Even as a busy equine vet (he founded Davis Equine, located in Adrian, Michigan, in 2023 after years practicing in different states), he finds time to mentor future veterinarians. His commitment to mentoring has taken him to Mexico five times to help teach students as part of the Equine Welfare in Practice international trip.
Animal lovers Ed and Roxy Nyberg established an endowed scholarship to help more people become veterinarians. Now, by supporting third-year DVM student Kendra David, they are doing just that.
Keri Gardner (LVT ’88, MS ’07) answers some questions about her time in the Veterinary Technology (now Veterinary Nursing) Certification Program and the Comparative Medicine and Integrative Biology Graduate Program, and offers some advice to students looking to get into research.
The trip is a valuable experience for future veterinary professionals on many levels—the students’ reflections and photos from the trip speak for themselves.
