Welcome to Meghan Longley who recently began her role as Clinical Services Manager with the Kim and Stu Lang Community Healthcare Partnership Program.
As Clinical Services Manager, Meghan will be assisting the director in everyday operations, and helping to facilitate access to veterinary care and community support to those in need.
Meghan completed her undergraduate degree at Lakehead University where she received an Honours Bachelor of Science in Natural Science. She then went on to complete her Post Graduate Certificate of Education through the University of Sunderland. After teaching overseas, Meghan decided to follow her passion for animals and returned to Canada to attend the University of Guelph Ridgetown Campus to become a veterinary technician.
Meghan joined the OVC community 11 years ago and has furthered her education and training by working in various areas throughout the hospital; small animal and large animal surgery, ICU, large animal wards and most recently in the Clinical Studies department as part of the Clinical Skills team, assisting in teaching labs for phases 1 through 3. She continues to keep her skills current and grow her knowledge through her employment at a local emergency clinic, as well as through volunteer opportunities.
Meghan is thrilled about beginning her new role as Clinical Services Manager - Kim and Stu Lang Community Healthcare Partnership Program. “Having had the opportunity to participate in some of the program’s initiatives over the last year, I knew this was an area I needed to pursue and feel very fortunate to be involved in a program that is passionate about providing education, healthcare and support to those humans, animals and communities that need it most.”
