In Episode 5 of the LASt Word (an AALAS podcast) we were joined by Dr. Daniel Pang. Dr. Pang is a Professor of veterinary anesthesiology at the University of Calgary. He received his veterinary degree from the University of Bristol (2000) and worked in small animal practice in the UK before completing an internship at the University of Glasgow, followed by a residency and MSc in veterinary anesthesia at the Université de Montréal. He received his doctorate in neuroscience (molecular mechanisms of volatile anesthetics) from Imperial College, London (2011) and is a Diplomate of the European and American Colleges of Veterinary Anesthesia and Analgesia.
Dr. Pang's research interests are in pain assessment and welfare, particularly the applications of pain assessment scales, patient safety, and the concept of enhanced recovery protocols for optimizing perioperative care. He was awarded Fellowship of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons for his contributions to research and he is co-Editor-in-Chief of the journal, Veterinary Anesthesia and Analgesia.
Recently Dr. Pang published an article in JAALAS, "Use of Loss of Righting Reflex to Assess Susceptibility to Carbon Dioxide Gas in Three Mouse Strains."
