Congratulations!

Three veterinarians who joined the EMC in 2023 have all landed highly prized residency positions after completing a one-year rotating medicine and surgery internship at the EMC.

Dr. Lindsay Dennis will be joining Michigan State University Veterinary Medical Center in East Lansing, Michigan as a medicine resident, and Dr. Kate Montgomery will join Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital in Lexington, Kentucky as a medicine resident.
