VMC dermatology service resumes
After a one-year hiatus, the WCVM Veterinary Medical Centre's dermatology service is now accepting new cases.
Dr. Allison Foster, a board-certified specialist in veterinary dermatology, returned to the veterinary teaching hospital in May 2024 after a one-year leave. Now that the service has resumed regular operations, the dermatology referral form is available on the VMC's online referral system.
Born and raised in New Orleans, La., Foster attended Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine and received her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) in 2004.
Following graduation, Foster moved to Albuquerque, N.M., where she worked as a general practitioner for several years before deciding to pursue specialty training.
Foster completed a small animal medicine and surgery rotating internship at VCA Veterinary Care Animal Hospital and Referral Center and then completed a three-year dermatology residency at Iowa State University and the University of Tennessee. She became a board-certified specialist with the American College of Veterinary Dermatologists in 2014.
