Speakers
Julie Dauvillier
After completing my vet school in Maison-Alfort (Paris, France) in 2003, I did my final year and internship in St hyacinthe, Montreal, Canada. I came back to France to practicein the field (emergencies, reproduction) and went to Argentina to learn embryo transfer on polo mares.
I decided to complete my education by a residency in internal medicine in St Hyacinthe and was became diplomate of the ACVIL (American College of Veterinary Medicine) and ECEIM (European College of Equine Internal Medicine).
I then worked for large practices in France and Belgium:
- Clinique des Breviaires near Paris, where I practiced equine orthopaedics with Dr Philippe Benoit
- ESMP in belgium with Dr Emmanuelle van Erck: sports medicine, respiratory medicine
- Livet Equine hospital in Normandy: intensive care, neonatalogy
I finally created my own specialist practice, VET INSIDE in 2020. It is an ambulatory referring practice in cardiology, sports medicine, internal medicine, based in France.
