Dr. Andreas Bachelez has joined the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine at Virginia Tech as a clinical assistant professor of small animal surgery in the Department of Small Animal Clinical Sciences.

He was previously a small animal surgical intern at the DMV Veterinary Centre of Montreal, Quebec, and a small animal rotating intern at the University of Montreal Veterinary Teaching Hospital.

We welcome Dr. Bachelez to the veterinary college.”
In his new position, Bachelez will teach clinical surgical techniques to fourth-year veterinary students, interns, and residents, as well as provide small animal surgery support to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital.
Bachelez earned a baccalauréat scientifique with highest honors in Bastia, France, and a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from the National Veterinary School of Lyon in Lyon, France. He is board certified with the American College of Veterinary Surgeons.
