## Resource

Dr. Kathy Cornack was raised in the Brisbane, Australia area. She developed an early love for animals and decided on veterinary medicine as a career, just in front of being a midwife or forensic scientist. She earned her veterinary degree from the University of Queensland in 1985. After graduation, she worked for the Australian government helping cattle and sheep graziers in the Queensland outback. Following that, she did locum small animal work in Australia and the UK. Then she earned a Master's degree in ruminant nutrition while continuing to work in small animal practice. She had her own mixed animal practice in a rural area for a few years, and became IVAS certified in acupuncture at the same time. Afterwards, she did more locums in small animal practice around Australia and completed Membership exams in Veterinary Behavior. She and her family spent four years living in the Seattle, Washington area, during which time she taught natural health classes at a community college and in natural animal health stores, worked as a technician in an integrative veterinary practice, and as a birth doula. Returning to Australia, she purchased a small animal practice, then moved to Newcastle, New South Wales and formed her current practice, Holistic Vets Newcastle. Please enjoy this conversation with Dr. Kathy Cornack as we discuss her education, work history, and involvement with Australian Veterinary Association's Integrative Vets special interest group and the conference she founded, Integrative Veterinary Conference Australia.
