He then spent 2 years at the Institute for Animal Pathology of the University of Bern earning a Master’s Degree (Dr. med. vet.). From 1997 to 1999 David completed a 3-year rotating program in Equine Medicine, Surgery and Diagnostic Imaging. In 2000 he entered a one-year rotating internship in Equine Medicine and Surgery at Louisiana State University where he stayed on for a 3-year Equine Surgery Residency and completion of a Master’s Degree program (MSc Vet Clin Sci).
David moved to California where he completed a one-year Fellowship in Equine Surgery at UC Davis. He became a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons in 2005. Prior to joining the RVC David spent 2 years at the Galbreath Equine Center of The Ohio State University as a Temporary Assistant Clinical Professor in Equine Orthopaedics.
Research
David is actively collaborating with the Structure and Motion Laboratory of the RVC. His main research interests lie in cartilage and tendon healing, biomechanics of motion and fracture repair and in the biological effects of extracorporeal shock waves.
Teaching
David enjoys all forms of teaching professional and post-graduate students (residents and interns)
Clinical
David enjoys all aspects of Large Animal Surgery including laparoscopy and colic surgery, but his main interests lie in Equine Orthopaedics with a special emphasis on lameness examination, arthroscopy and fracture repair.
