Dr. Elizabeth Collar, a third year resident in Large Animal Surgery, won first place in the Large Animal Research Category for her presentation of “Third Carpal Bone Fracture is Associated with Focal Subchondral Bone Porosity in Racehorses” at the annual meeting of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons (ACVS) this month. ACVS established the competition to encourage the development of clinically important research, and the dissemination of the results of these investigations, particularly those conducted by surgical residents.
Dr. Collar’s research involved collaboration with CVM faculty, and with Dr. Urszula T. Iwaniec, Associate Professor in the OSU College of Public Health and Human Sciences, and Dr. Susan Stover, Professor in the School of Veterinary Medicine at the UC Davis.
Several past residents from CVM have won this award, including Dr. Shannon Reed, Dr. Marc Kinsley, and Dr. Barbara Hunter.
The Outstanding Surgical Residents’ Awards are sponsored by Securos Surgical.
