He has published extensively in peer-reviewed journals and is frequently invited to speak at national and international conferences on surgery, education, and research. Dr. Dujowich’s passion for improving patient outcomes has led to becoming certified in canine rehabilitation therapy and creating the Bone, Joint, and Spine center within VRCCO. The goal for the center is to have a much more intentional approach to orthopedics, joint replacement, spinal surgery, and rehabilitation therapy so we can maximize success. Dr. Dujowich is responsible for founding VetPrep and VetTechPrep, educational platforms that help veterinarians and veterinary technicians prepare for their national licensing exams.
