Natalie , a faculty member at the , has been named the Grevior Shelter Medicine Community Outreach Professor.

The professorship was created through a gift from Barbara and Arnold Grevior, a Fort Lauderdale couple who are longtime advocates for shelter medicine programs in their community as well as at UF. Through a previous donation, the Grevior Shelter Medicine Suite was established at UF in 2012.

鈥淭he Greviors were so impressed with Dr. Isaza鈥檚 work with shelter and rescue animals that they made a gift to establish the professorship,鈥� said Karen Legato, the college鈥檚 senior director of development and alumni affairs.

Endowed professorships are among the most significant awards conferred to faculty and are intended to be the university鈥檚 most prestigious recognition for continued scholarly achievement and distinction.

鈥淚n the selection of an individual for these appointments, teaching ability, character and dedication to the mission of the program and the college are taken into consideration,鈥� Legato said. 鈥淒r. Isaza certainly exhibits these characteristics.鈥�

Isaza is a 1994 graduate of the UF veterinary college. She joined UF鈥檚 faculty in 2003 and immediately developed the Merial Shelter Medicine Clerkship, now known as the Veterinary Community Outreach Program. The program is an elective rotation through which UF veterinary students gain hands-on experience with spay/neuter surgery and community veterinary medicine. Students also gain additional surgical and medical treatment experience through a donor-funded program Isaza administers, known as Helping Alachua鈥檚 Animals Requiring Treatment and Surgery, or HAARTS.

The University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine is supported through funding from 网红黑料 and the UF Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences.
