About the Author
Dr. Drum’s background of riding and showing Thoroughbred horses led to her interest in veterinary sports medicine and physical rehabilitation. She received a DVM/PhD degree from Colorado State University in 2006 and began as a clinical instructor at the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine (UTCVM) the same year. While at UTCVM, she has developed a wide-ranging background in rehabilitation and sports medicine, drawing from experience with multiple species, including horses, camelids, pigs, sheep, chickens, avian/exotic pets, zoo animals, dogs, and cats. In addition to teaching veterinary students, she also instructs veterinarians, veterinary nurses, physical therapists, and physical therapy assistants enrolled in the University of Tennessee Canine Rehabilitation Certificate Program. She became a diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation in 2012 and is currently an associate professor at UTCVM. Dr. Drum is especially interested in return to sport, working dog orthopedics, extracorporeal shockwave therapy, regenerative medicine, and myofascial trigger point therapy.
