Veterinarian Overview
Dr. Karen Hull graduated from Purdue University School of Veterinary Medicine in 1982. Since graduation, Dr. Hull has been practicing small animal medicine, primarily in Bloomington, Indiana. While there she decided to take advantage of the neighboring Indiana University campus and attended programming classes in her spare time. In 1992, she completed a Masters Degree in Computer Science from IU, but her passion remains caring for animals and honoring the human-animal bond. Dr. Hull enjoys diagnostics and problem solving, and as veterinary physical rehabilitation has gained in popularity, so has Dr. Hulls interest in this specialty. She brings great insight and talent to our Rehabilitation Department. In 2014 Dr. Hull received her certification as a Canine Rehabilitation Practitioner from the University of Tennessee. In her free time, Dr. Hull enjoys golf, geocaching, and woodworking. Her animal family includes two dogs, two cats, and two guinea pigs. One of her dogs, a golden retriever named Frannie, along with Dr. Hull, is participating in the Morris Animal Foundation Golden Retriever Lifetime Study. Frannie is one of 3,000 goldens in the nation-wide study that is aimed at identifying genetic, environmental and nutritional risk factors for cancer and other major health programs in dogs. Dr. Hull is also a volunteer member of the IVMA Animal Welfare Committee where the goal is to elevate education and encourage responsible and compassionate stewardship for the well being of animals.
