For over 15 years through my work with WVS, I have been involved in programs that focus on guiding and coaching veterinarians in India in basic surgical and anesthesia skills. My goal has never been to make them the world’s best neurosurgeons (as if I would be even qualified for that!!!) but to get them off the starting line—to instill in them the belief that they can perform surgery and, with consistent effort, continue to improve. With a foundation in surgery, anesthesia, and analgesia, a world of possibilities in clinical veterinary medicine opens up.
