Meet Kristin Hohnadel

“I knew I had to join the Veterinary Medical Center when, on the day I interviewed, I saw how comfortable staff members were when handling intensive procedures. The doctors also went out of their way to make sure I understood what was happening just as much as the veterinary medicine students.

“At the VMC, I discovered my passion for cardiology, and the VMC supported me as I obtained my VTS in cardiology. I use my advanced training to teach residents and interns within the VMC, and I also travel across the U.S. and Canada to give lectures.

"Last year I was honored to receive the Technician Excellence in Teaching Award from the VMC, and I look forward to continuing to teach vet and tech students, residents, and interns.”—Kristin Hohnadel, AH Pro 1-Clinical Vet Care, Civil Service
