Dr. Deborah Chong is the NDSU-VDL’s newest anatomic veterinary pathologist.
After finishing her veterinary studies at the University of Sydney in Australia, Dr. Chong completed her anatomic pathology residency at Oregon State University. She comes to us with diagnostic experience in livestock, companion animals, wildlife, and exotics. Her studies have involved a vast array of animals, including marine mammals, domestic ruminants and wild cervids, rabbits, donkeys, echidnas, crows and lorikeets, and even black rhinos!
When not studying for board examinations, Dr. Chong enjoys outdoor activities, visiting libraries, bookshops, museums, and historic places, and drinking tea while reading a book/manga series or watching documentaries and anime.
We are very excited to welcome Dr. Chong to the VDL and can’t wait to introduce her to new snowy adventures this upcoming winter.
