VA NORTHERN CALIFORNIA SYSTEM OF CLINICS 鈥 MARTINEZ, CA
Director, Animal Research Facility
Responsible for the development of a new animal care and use program, supervision of construction of a new Animal Research Facility (ARF), replacement of 鈥淧robationary Status鈥 with 鈥淔ull Accreditation Status鈥 by the American Association for Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care (AAALAC), supervised the ARF staff, provided veterinary care for the VANCSC animal research program, consultation services for investigator protocol development, participated in the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC), collaborative and independent research, 4/92 - 3/93.
Comparative cardiovascular鈥憆espiratory physiology (fluid balance and microcirculation); surgical and critical care of cardio-thoracic research models; comparative medicine (fish, rabbits, primates); well-being of captive animals. I have additional experience and training in behavioral medicine, disaster preparedness and social media.
As an outcome of teaching species specific to veterinary students and to those participating in an approved IACUC activity at UC Davis and at The Ohio State University, I have developed advanced experience in teaching practical biomethodology and clinical medicine of the small mammal species (rabbits, guinea pigs, rats and mice), the non-traditional pet and captive wildlife (ferrets, reptiles, amphibians, birds, degus and ground squirrels). The variety of students, from the new employee in the laboratory animal setting to registered animal heath technicians or the private practice veterinarian, has provided the opportunity to study adult learning and the multi-cultural aspects of teaching and training. In addition to basic material, I have been focusing on refining procedures involving these species by advancing anesthesia and analgesia procedures for these species. I have been teaching to a variety of students form the new employee in the laboratory animal setting to registered animal heath technicians and to private practice veterinarians through invitation and the following professional organizations:
