Dr. Kimberly May

Dr. Kimberly May received her DVM and MS degrees from the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine.  Her career focused on equine medicine and surgery, and she obtained board certification from the American College of Veterinary Surgeons in 2000. 


      In 2005, she left private practice to join the Communications Division of the American Veterinary Medical Association as a Medical/Science Writer.  In 2007, she advanced to the position of Assistant Director, Professional and Public Affairs. 


      Dr. May has refocused her career on communicating with AVMA members, veterinarians and the public about issues relevant to animal health and the veterinary profession.  She coordinated and oversaw the AVMA's efforts during the 2007 pet food recalls as well as the Salmonella peanut butter recalls in early 2009.  She has also led the AVMA’s communications efforts during the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic. 




      Although not working on horses anymore, she still gets her “equine fix” by spending time with her mule, Crackerjack Surprise, and her horse, Ricki.  She also has a Labrador-cross mutt, Rugby, who she asserts is the best dog in the world.
