Biography
"The goal of my position is to provide clinical education to residents, interns, and students at the Texas A&M University College of Veterinary Medicine. Through the care provided for client owned patients, I look to provide guidance on the diagnosis, work-up, and treatment of neurologic disease. I also look to provide mentorship and supervision to the Neurology and Surgery residents in the application of neurosurgery for cases of brain and spinal cord disease. In addition, by providing MRI rounds for our residents I look to enhance their knowledge and understanding of a critical part of a neurologists training. By lecturing to the veterinary students prior to their clinical year, I look to provide a clinical perspective to enhance their learning of veterinary anatomy and physiology."
