Dr. Lisa Shriver, DVM
Dr. Shriver graduated from The Ohio State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine in 2009. She is passionate about learning and sharing knowledge related to the ever-evolving fields of shelter medicine, veterinary forensics, field medicine, and access to care for underserved populations. She has been part of the University of Florida Shelter Medicine instructional team since 2013.

She continued to advance her education by completing Graduate Certificates in both Veterinary Forensic Sciences and Shelter Medicine at the University of Florida. She spent several years consulting as a field medicine veterinarian with Rural Area Veterinary, spearheading an outreach program providing regular access to veterinary care for the San Carlos Apache Tribe in Arizona.
