Dr. Kaitlyn Mullen, a third-year small animal surgery resident at the UF College of Veterinary Medicine, was recently honored by a national professional association for her achievements in the clinical, educational and scholarly arenas.

In April, the American Association of Veterinary Clinicians, an organization of veterinary clinicians engaged in teaching and research at the professional, graduate or postgraduate level, presented Mullen with its Resident Award, which is given annually to two residents selected from all the veterinary residents in North America.

Mullen is a 2018 graduate of Purdue’s College of Veterinary Medicine. She completed a rotating internship in small animal medicine and surgery at UF in 2020 and began her residency at UF that year.
