Dr. Mary McLoughlin has been the consummate surgeon, who has inspired, educated, and mentored veterinary students, residents, junior faculty, and others. Because of her efforts, she has had a multiplier effect with regard to impact on the veterinary profession and the specialty of veterinary surgery. She is most deserving of this recognition and more.

Dr. McLoughlin was a role model, teacher, mentor, and advocate to me through my time as a veterinary student at OSU (1999-2003), surgical residency (2004-2007), and an early role as a clinical instructor at OCU (2007-2008). She is a tremendous educator, leader, and surgeon. Moreover, she has been a role model to me as a working academic mom. She is a trailblazer and a legend.

Mary is a calming presence in the OR for her residents. She was fundamental in my training as a surgeon and is one of the best soft tissue surgeons I know. She always gave good advice and was there if you needed help. She deserves recognition for all the surgeons she has trained.
