Laurie R. Goodrich

DVM, MS, PhD, DACVS

Laurie started as my resident advisor and now is a close friend. I appreciate all she has taught me along the way.

- Ryan S. Carpenter, DVM, MS, DACVS (Large Animal)

There is no one like Laurie. She is strong, intelligent, and kind; a masterful combination which makes her an ideal role model.

- Lacy Kamm, DVM, DACVS (Large Animal), PhD

Dr. Goodrich has been an amazing role model as a surgeon, researcher, and leader. There is no doubt in my mind that I would not be where I am today without her mentorship and support over the years.

- Annette M. McCoy, DVM, MS, PhD, DACVS (Large Animal)

Dr. Goodrich has been a highly dedicated mentor, colleague, and friend. Despite her continually busy schedule, she always has time to mentor. It is an honor to have been her mentee.

- Bradley Nelson, DVM, MS, PhD, DACVS (Large Animal)

Laurie has been an unwavering support in both the clinical and research setting. She never hesitates to answer the phone, lend a hand, and offer advice. She is a champion for young faculty and especially for women in large animal surgery.

- Kyla F. Ortved, DVM, PhD, DACVS (Large Animal), DACVSMR

Laurie has promoted the role of veterinarian and veterinary surgeons in One Health/One Medicine through her service to many organizations including the ACVS, ORS, VOS, and others. She is a role model to all veterinary surgeons and especially women veterinary surgeons.
