A DAY IN THE LAB

woman with winter clothing on Mila Freire-Gonzalez, Veterinarian
Mila graduated in Veterinary Medicine at the Complutense University of
Madrid (UCM) in Spain in 2001. She worked in the Small Animal Surgery
Department in the Veterinary Teaching Hospital of the UCM, for almost 5
years. During this period she was involved in clinical as well as in
research activity.
 
She had the opportunity of visiting other universities, and she
completed two externships. She spent three months in the Veterinary
Teaching Hospital of Munich with Pr.Dr.Ulrike Matis and Pr. Dr. Roberto
Köstlin in 2004, and two months in the Ohio State University under the
guidance of Dr. Kenneth Johnson and Dr. Michael Kowaleski in 2005.

In 2006 she moved to Columbus, OH where she did an internship in Small
Animal Medicine and Surgery at The Ohio State University under the
direction of Dr. Shane Bateman. She completed the program successfully
and she received the Outstanding Intern Award 2007.
 
She is passionate for everything related with surgery of small animals
and she loves working in teaching hospitals where there is always
direct work with students and the opportunity of continuing her
veterinary training with classes, seminars, rounds and the learning
from the professors. Her dream would be to join a residency program and
be trained to become a board certified veterinary surgeon.
 
Mila was born in Spain and she always lived in Madrid, prior to moving
to USA. She enjoys travelling, sightseeing, reading and being
with friends. She enjoys meeting new people from different countries.


When she has free time, she likes painting and being with the family. 


She loves her job.

As of July 2008, Mila's dream has come true.

She was awarded the 3 year residency in small animal surgery.

We are proud and excited for her!
