Coordinator Small Animal Internal Medicine Residency Program. Clinical and research interests include feline infectious diseases. The Small Animal Internal Medicine Residency Program at the University of Florida has been in existence since 1978.
Emphasis is placed on clinical medicine, teaching, and clinical research in preparation for boards.
The Small Animal Medicine referral service operates on a 2 team system with one faculty member and one resident on each team. Teams see cases other weekday with non-receiving days reserved for workup and teaching. We have a separate outpatient service and most patients seen by the small animal medicine team are therefore referrals with a small number of emergencies. Residents take primary responsibility for inpatients and outpatients within the team concept. An external rotation at another university is encouraged to broaden resident experience.
