International Veterinary Seminars is excited to announce this new course and welcome Dr. Jessica Quimby to the IVS team! Dr. Quimby is an internist on faculty at the Ohio State University and loves all things urinary! Dr. Quimby is on the scientific board of the International Renal Interest Society and has published many instrumental papers on urinary diseases in cats and dogs. One great clinical example is her work with mirtazapine, ultimately bringing it to market in cats. IVS is bringing the team back together again! Dr. Quimby completed her residency and PhD at Colorado State University (CSU) and worked closely with both Drs. Lappin and MacPhail during her training programs. Dr. Lappin is an internist at CSU and continues to study infectious diseases, stress associated illness in cats, and incontinence in dogs. He is a member of the International Society for Companion Animal Infectious Disease guidelines committee and looks forward to providing updates from that group on the diagnosis and treatment of urinary infections. He also performs urodynamic procedures for the hospital and looks forward to sharing practical ways to diagnose and medically manage urinary incontinence in dogs. Dr. MacPhail is a general surgeon at CSU and has enjoyed providing the surgical management of urinary tract diseases of both dogs and cats for many years on faculty. The 3 speakers will also be debating some of the classic issues in urinary tract diseases including the appropriate use of subcutaneous ureteral bypass catheters. Drs. Lappin and Quimby will interact on parts of the CKD and FIC/Stress lectures.
