University.

Dr. Ebner enjoys both teaching in the classroom, laboratory, and clinical

service work during locums at veterinary teaching hospitals and at private specialty

hospitals. She regularly engages in telemedicine consultations for DVMs. She also

appreciates the opportunity to interact with all members of the veterinary care team

while delivering high quality continuing education across the United States.

Dr. Ebner’s teaching philosophy revolves around the principles of keeping veterinary

education regarding anesthesia specific to the audience members, with measurable

learning outcomes that are reasonable to achieve over a given time period, all while

keeping the information both relevant and hopefully even a little bit entertaining.
