UF veterinary surgery resident honored for presentation

University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine small animal surgery resident Stanley Kim, B.V.Sc., received top honors for the most outstanding resident presentation at this year’s annual Veterinary Orthopedic Society meeting, held recently in Big Sky, Mont.

Kim’s presentation dealt with two surgical techniques used to correct tears of the cruciate ligament in dogs.

“Dr. Antonio Pozzi, assistant professor of small animal surgery, who also gave an excellent podium presentation and two posters at the meeting, deserves a great deal of the credit for Stan’s success, as he provided excellent mentorship through his graduate research program,” said Dan Lewis, D.V.M., a professor and UF small animal surgery resident program coordinator, who was also a co-author with Pozzi on Kim’s paper.

Kim attended and presented his work as a recipient of one of the Veterinary Orthopedic Society’s Mark Bloomberg Awards, which provide financial support for deserving residents to attend the meeting and present their research. The awards are based on a review of their scientific abstracts.
