Cheryl Scott RN NP DVM MPVM
Director
Health Sciences Clinical Faculty
Dr. Cheryl Scott spent ten years as a registered nurse and nurse practitioner before entering UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. Many of her years practicing human medicine were spent in public and global health efforts, such as in the International Red Cross refugee health care program in Cambodia. After graduating from Veterinary School in 1994, Dr. Scott practiced as a veterinary family practitioner, mainly in emergency medicine and geriatric/hospice care for pets. She began wildlife medicine and research in 1997, which led to the completion of an MPVM degree in 2006. As Director of the Calvin Schwabe One Health Project, Dr. Scott brings her confluence of human, animal, and ecosystem experience to the program in a way that can be inspiring to a new generation of veterinary students expecting to graduate with an appreciation, awareness, and expertise in the overlap of human, animal, and environmental health.
Rance B. LeFebvre PhD
Associate Dean Student Programs
Dr. Rance LeFebvre has been a faculty member in the Department of Pathology, Microbiology, and Immunology (PMI) at the Veterinary School for 23 years. His recent appointment to Dean of Students has given him the opportunity to hear many veterinary students discuss their career aspirations and concerns. He notes that they recognize the current urgency of our global climate changes and challenging human/animal issues, and that many want an ecosystem-, population-, and research-based education in addition to UC Davis's stellar clinical medicine curriculum.
