SPEAKER
Rona Sherebrin DVM CVA
Secord Animal Hospital

Dr. Sherebrin graduated from the Ontario Veterinary College in 1991, and entered private practice in a busy, extended-hours veterinary hospital. After ten years in practice she became increasingly frustrated with the chronic nature of many of the cases she saw, and the inability to do more than suppress symptoms. She then began studying Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) to try and address the underlying disorders that produced the symptoms, Dr. Sherebrin is a Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist, and has completed the course work leading to the designation of Certified Veterinary Tui-Na Practitioner. She is working towards her Masters Degree of TCVM (joint program Chi Institute of Chinese Medicine and the Southwest China Agricultural University). When not working or studying she finds time for her cat, husband, three children and gardening.
