Graduated in 2008 from the Veterinary School of Lyon in 2008, I then continued my training by performing a rotating internship at the same place and stayed 3 more years working in the ICU as a clinical instructor. After this period, I spent 2 years in various private practices working as an emergency doctor and travelled for 3 months in the United States to perform externships. From March 2014 to June 2015, I completed an emergency and critical care internship at the University of California UC Davis and then an ECC residency at the University of Pennsylvania UPenn from 2015 to 2018. After successfully completing my board exam in September 2018, I am now working at Willows Veterinary Center in Birmingham, UK as an ECC specialist, head of service and internship director.
