Honored Mentor

Dale E. Bjorling

DVM, MS, DACVS

My goal in working with residents is to try to equip them with the skills to be better than me. Over the years, I feel that I have learned at least as much from them as they have from me. It is extremely gratifying and humbling to be recognized by former trainees as having had a positive impact on their professional development.

- Dale E. Bjorling, DVM, MS, DACVS

Dr. Bjorling was the type of mentor that I aspire to be. He taught me the ‘fortunes of war,’ but most importantly, he taught me that a goal of teaching a good resident is not that they become carbon copies of yourself, rather they use all of their collective experiences during a residency to become the best version of themselves.”
