My career in veterinary dermatology has focused mainly on patient care (small and large animal), teaching veterinary students the basic tenets of clinical dermatology using a problem and pattern-based approach, the scholarship of applied medical sciences (e.g., continuing education, publishing review articles, book, and book chapters), and multi-discipline collaborative research. In addition to these roles, I serve on several graduate student committees and provide specialty-level training to residents seeking to be boarded dermatologists. Lastly, I promote my specialty through my elected positions in the American College of Veterinary Dermatology.
