Dr. Ingrid Balsa, U California Davis,  was the first ACVS Fellow Candidate in Minimally Invasive Surgery (small animal soft tissue) passing the VALS requirement. She braved the winter storms in WA state, traveling from considerably warmer CA, arrived safely and passed her test on December 16th, 2019. Congratulations!

On May 17, 2019, Dr. Barbara Dyall made history as the first non-US VALS certified individual, with a close to perfect score! Dr. Dyall has recently completed an ECVS residency at the Evidensia Specialist Animal Hospital in Strömsholm, Sweden. Congratulations!

Dr. Dyall was focused on work at hand in the VALT laboratory at WSU in Pullman.
