K-State College of Veterinary Medicine Speakers

Rachel Allbaugh, DVM
Resident, Ophthalmology

Dr. Allbaugh received her DVM degree from Iowa State University in 2004. She completed an internship in small animal medicine and surgery at Carolina Veterinary Specialists in Greensboro, North Carolina. Dr. Allbaugh came to Kansas State University in 2005 and is currently in her second year of a three-year residency in veterinary ophthalmology. Dr. Allbaugh’s passion for veterinary ophthalmology began with her own cat's nearly blinding eye disease. Since that time she has worked with numerous veterinary ophthalmologists, participated in research studies, and been a part of intense clinical training so that she can help teach others how to save vision in animals and why everyone should love veterinary ophthalmology.

Harriet Davidson, DVM, MS, Diplomate ACVO
Professor, Ophthalmology
Dr. Davidson received her DVM in 1985 and then completed her MS degree and a residency in 1990 at Michigan State University. She completed a Fellowship in mucosal immunology at Wayne State University School of Medicine in 1992. She joined the faculty of Kansas State University in 1992 as an Assistant Professor. In 1994 she left to pursue other goals. During that time she maintained a private ophthalmology practice and was a clinical instructor at North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine. In 1997 she returned to Kansas State University. Her time is divided between clinical patients, research and teaching.
