I have been in clinical practice for 31 years, working in 3 different areas of Canada. I started in a mixed animal practice before moving to exclusively companion animal practice. In the past 15 years, I have concentrated on companion animal lameness and pain management employing an integrated approach to patient care. Relevant training for pain management includes: certification in veterinary acupuncture (IVAS), canine rehabilitation (CRI), animal chiropractic (Options for Animals), and Certified Veterinary Pain Practitioner (IVAPM). I am also actively involved in veterinary association work, serving on the executive boards and various committees of the New Brunswick Veterinary Medical Association, the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association, the World Small Animal Veterinary Association and the International Veterinary Academy of Pain Management.
