Erica Koch, DVM

Dr. Erica Koch graduated from Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine in 2006. Upon graduation, she entered an intense high case load internship program at Hagyard Equine Medical Center, in Lexington, KY, where she was immersed in the thoroughbred racehorse industry. She was fortunate to not only learn from some incredible veterinarians, but also to work with some famous equine athletes. Upon completion of her internship at Hagyards, Dr. Koch entered private practice in an equine ambulatory setting in southern New Hampshire. During her time in New Hampshire, she decided to pursue further training in a Sports Medicine/ Ambulatory Equine Residency program at the University of Pennsylvania, New Bolton Center, which Dr. Koch began in 2008. During her time at UPenn, Dr. Koch gained valuable experience working with many different disciplines including dressage, eventing, hunter jumpers, racing thoroughbreds and standardbreds, western performance horses and the occasional Amish work horse. Once the residency was completed, Dr. Koch decided that she truly enjoyed academia and embraced the concept of ‘See one. Do one. Teach one.’ and accepted a faculty position at the Atlantic Veterinary College in Prince Edward Island, Canada. (Source)
