Dr. Stanley Kim holds a plaque he received from the American Association of Veterinary Clinicians after being named Resident of the Year.
University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine small animal surgery resident Stanley Kim, B.V.Sc., has been named resident of the year by the American Association of Veterinary Clinicians.
The award is presented annually to two residents who have demonstrated outstanding accomplishment and proficiency in the areas of clinical service, teaching and research.
Kim, who will complete his UF residency in June, has received several awards in recent years from the Veterinary Orthopedic Society and the American College of Veterinary Surgeons.
“In addition to being an outstanding young clinical surgeon and educator, Dr. Kim has truly distinguished himself on the research front,” said Daniel D. Lewis, D.V.M., a professor of small animal surgery at UF. “He has already established himself as a recognized authority in the management of cranial cruciate ligament insufficiency in dogs.”
Lewis added that Kim was the third UF small animal surgery resident to receive the AAVC’s resident of the year award.
The AAVC’s mission is to enhance the quality of and serve as an advocate for veterinary clinical teaching, service and research.
