The Department of Health Management at the Atlantic Veterinary College, UPEI, will be interviewing candidates for the tenure-track faculty position in Large Animal Surgery.  As part of the interview process, each candidate has been asked to present two brief seminars; one suitable for DVM students and the other a presentation of their research.

Our second candidate wil be on-campus October 28th and October 29th, 2019.

Dr. Marco Lopes was born in Brazil where he completed his DVM training and a Masters in Veterinary Medicine. He did a PhD in Veterinary Medical Sciences at Virginia Tech and a Residency in Equine Surgery at the University of Missouri. Dr. Lopes always loved all animals, but, as a vet, he likes to work with large animals and he really loves working as a clinician. Thus, his choice to work mostly with horses instead of farm animals had a lot to do with the higher demand for clinical work in horses (especially more intensive care and complex surgical procedures) than in the other large animals. Besides his main work as a horse veterinarian, he has always worked with ruminants and camelids. Unexpectedly he got a job at a vet school very early in his career and he immediately learned that he loved teaching and research as much as he loved working as a clinician. So he never wanted to leave academia. Dr. Lopes love for nature and being in the wild is his favourite hobby. He also likes to be physically active and he loves running and playing soccer, which helps him stay fit for the physically demanding work as a large animal surgeon.
