NEW FACES
by Jonas Siegel

Dr. Marc Raffe joined the College in March to develop the emergency critical care program with Dr. Sheila McCullough. He is board certified by the American College of Veterinary Anesthesiologists and a charter diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Emergency Critical Care.

The College is not entirely unfamiliar to Dr. Raffe; he received his DVM here in 1975. After graduating, Dr. Raffe completed an internship in small animal medicine and surgery at Auburn University. He then completed a two-year residency in small animal surgery at Purdue University, followed by an anesthesiology residency at the University of Minnesota, where he was hired and advanced to the position of full professor. 

At the time Dr. Raffe learned of the opening at the College he was working at an industry research firm after leaving the University of Minnesota. “It looked like a great fit,” he says, “and it continues to look that way.”

He especially looks forward to the interactions with students this fall. “If I didn’t like to teach, I wouldn’t be here,” he says.
