Veterinarian Overview
Dr. Katie Rawlings started going on farm calls at age seven with a family friend who was an equine veterinarian. In love with ñthe romance of healing animals and helping their people,î she knew she would be a veterinarian. She considers veterinary medicine a complicated puzzle involving logic, data collection, and knowledge application to formulate plans and treatments. Within her field, she loves treating lacerations and wounds and sees them as a form of reconstruction. She also likes the variety of presentations found with internal medicine and surgery cases..Dr. Rawlings completed a Masters in Business Administration from Washington State University, prior to becoming a veterinarian. She worked for both AT&T and Cingular Wireless managing the development of their product catalogs.
