Dr. Leah Douglas, Ophthalmology Resident

Today we applaud Dr. Leah Douglas, who is a resident in Ophthalmology at the Purdue University Veterinary Hospital. A student shared her appreciation for Dr. Douglas, stating, “Dr. Douglas is an incredible person! I appreciate her constant kindness and support, even after we “graduate” the ophthalmology rotation. She never ceases to brighten the day of her students, even when she is just passing by. Dr. Douglas took the time to comfort me during a classic fourth-year student moment of vulnerability and provided words of encouragement. She is incredible!”

Fostering a healthy work environment involves expressing appreciation and gratitude. Is there someone at PVM you would like to acknowledge today?  It’s easy to make a Paws Up submission – just follow this link.  Submissions are published anonymously and may be edited for length.  Any PVM staff, faculty, student, or team may be nominated by anyone in our college.
