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.
