IVM Forum

Calm down, everything will be OK! – Following dreams and finding new interests

Presented by

Riley Aronson, DVM

V’21 Graduate from Cummings 

Riley Aronson, DVM,  moved from Texas to New England in 2013 for university (A’17) & veterinary school (V’21) at Tufts. She completed her DVM with thesis as part of the IVM post-graduate certificate program, through which she was able to spend 3 months in Indonesia working with Bornean orangutans on a diagnostic imaging project. She fell in love with ambulatory medicine and ophthalmology during clinical rotations, and remained passionate about zoo, international, & conservation medicine. These interests were reinforced during her small animal rotating internship at North Carolina State University. She then returned to TCSVM for a specialty internship in ophthalmology the following year, and is currently an ophthalmology research fellow at the University of Florida. This year, she has traveled to different veterinary schools, gathering data on the outcomes of phacoemulsification in all species from 21 institutions. She starts her combined 3-year ophthalmology residency & master’s degree program at Colorado State University in July. Outside of veterinary medicine, Riley enjoys photography, rollerblading, & travel.
