In this issue of AVC News, we spoke with Dr. Mark Wallace, a 1993 graduate of AVC, who works as a large animal veterinarian in Reidsville, North Carolina. Just one call to his answering machine is enough to tell you that Reidsville, North Carolina is horse country and that suits Dr. Mark Wallace perfectly. Before hearing Dr. Wallace's instruction to leave a message, the familiar sounds of a horse greets callers. And appropriately so, as horses are his business. Since July 1997, Dr. Wallace has worked as one of ten veterinarians at Reidsville Veterinary Hospital, with 90 per cent of his work on horses.
Horses are an important part of the lifestyle here which makes for interesting work.
He remained at Virginia Tech to pursue a residency in large animal medicine and begin work on a Master of Science degree. During his residency he was fortunate to travel to Australia where he worked for two months at an equine clinic at Sydney University. We'd love to hear from you.
