Christine
Tindal, BVSc, Cert.V.Ophthal, joined the CVM faculty in August 2006
as Associate Professor of Small Animal Medicine and Surgery. She is
a PBL facilitator, content expert for Veterinary Ophthalmology and member
of the Admissions and Scholastic Standing Committee. She is also currently
receiving further training as a teacher's assistant in the field of
Veterinary Ultrasonography.
Christine graduated from
The University of Sydney with 1st Class honors in 1992. Following this
she entered into small animal practice, with a particular interest in
small animal internal medicine. This translated into a desire to learn
more about the field of veterinary ophthalmology, which she pursued
first in Australia and then in the UK. In 2000 she was awarded the Certificate
in Veterinary Ophthalmology by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons,
UK. Christine accepted a position at the University of Sydney in 2003,
teaching veterinary ophthalmology to the fourth year students. In 2005,
again in the interests of furthering her love of internal medicine,
Christine initiated her training in Veterinary ultrasonography, a skill
she is now developing further at Western University. On joining Western
University of Health Sciences in 2006, Christine left the world of clinical
practice in the hope that some of her enthusiasm and love of veterinary
science could be passed on to future graduating students.
Christine has a real passion
for veterinary science and in particular, for clinical practice. Her
personal motto is "you can never learn too much about veterinary medicine".
In her spare time, Christine likes spending time with her family camping,
kayaking and scuba diving.
