Education needs to be exciting, engaging and interesting for the student as well as the faculty member. Education is no longer about handing out notes and lecturing, it's about giving students the tools to learn long after they leave veterinary school. Student centered learning is the key to life-long learning. Education is successful when all students know more than their teachers.

Dr. Bertone is interested in areas of pharmacology and physiology that directly affect clinical veterinary medicine and the health of horses. His preference is that these areas be investigated with spontaneous disease in clinical cases. He is also interested in developing new teaching methods for students that increase learning by practice without risk to animals.
