As some of you know, Yer Big Dog is on a 300 mile walk for #caninecancer so this week is an encore presentation of an early but great episode with Dr. Phil Bergman, veterinary oncologist and head of Clinical Trials at VCA. We'll have a new episode of Fuzzybutts & Friends for you next week. Puppy Up, Talk soon.
"It's a tremendous honor to have one of the top people in veterinary oncology both in research and as a practitioner, and a personal friend and unofficial thought leader for me in my journey in understanding cancer in our companion animals - Dr. Phil Bergman. In this episode we start the discussion as to the challenges to finding a board certified oncologist for pet parents as well as exciting technologies in cancer therapeutics, diagnostics and so much more!
Dr. Bergman is the Director of Clinical Studies for VCA. He is the principal veterinary investigator for the fully licensed canine melanoma vaccine (Oncept). Dr. Bergman is an adjunct faculty member of the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.
Prior to Dr. Bergman joining VCA, he served as the Chief Medical Officer for BrightHeart Veterinary Centers from July 2007 to August 2011; from 1999 to June 2007 he was the head of the Donaldson-Atwood Cancer Center at AMC. After finishing veterinary school from Colorado State in 1990, he was an intern at Kansas State (90-91) and returned to CSU for his medical oncology residency (91-94) and then completed a PhD Fellowship in human cancer biology from the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston (94-99). He was previously Chair of the ACVIM Board of Regents and President of the Veterinary Cancer Society."
