Meet the Expert, Dr. Carol Gillis

Dr. Gillis is a graduate of the University of California Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. After earning her degree, she developed a sport horse practice and became one of the first equine veterinarians to perform ultrasound examinations on the equine musculoskeletal system. She returned to UC Davis for an equine surgery residency and then obtained a PhD in equine tendon and ligament pathophysiology. At the same time, she also established the equine ultrasound service at UC Davis and created courses and wet labs to train veterinary students, residents, and veterinarians on how to perform and interpret ultrasonographic examinations. Dr. Gillis is the author of over 50 scientific publications in peer-reviewed journals, as well as the book Equine Sports Medicine and Surgery, which has become THE definitive reference book on the topic. She has presented her research on equine sports medicine topics both nationally and internationally.
