Dr. Kirsten Prosser completed a Bachelor of Science degree at the University of Guelph, Ontario, in 2003. She subsequently pursued her veterinary degree in Perth, Australia; graduating with honours from Murdoch University with a Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine & Surgery in 2007. Upon returning to Ontario, Dr. Prosser completed a one-year rotating internship in small animal medicine and surgery at our Hospital. After completing the internship, Dr. Prosser worked in Mississauga in both general practice and with the emergency service at our Hospital.

Dr. Prosser returned to our Hospital in June 2011 to commence an ACVIM approved three-year clinical Internal Medicine Residency. As part of her residency program, she is researching the benefits of routine blood and urine testing in healthy cats and dogs. A goal of this project is to make recommendations on the best timing to perform this testing based on a pet's age and breed.
