RALEIGH, NC (August 20, 2024) – The American Kennel Club® (AKC), AKC Canine Health Foundation (AKCCHF), and Theriogenology Foundation (TF) are pleased to announce the latest recipients of AKC/AKCCHF/TF Small Animal Theriogenology Residency Program awards. Auburn University and Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine have received funding for new residents starting in the summer of 2025. Also, Dr. Joshua Trumble begins his residency training at the 2024 award recipient, The Ohio State University.
Theriogenology is the branch of veterinary medicine concerned with reproduction - including the physiology and pathology of male and female reproductive systems, and the clinical practice of veterinary obstetrics, gynecology, and andrology. Since 2016, this collaborative program has provided funding to train 15 specialists at various US veterinary colleges.

Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine has a robust theriogenology department and provides residents with the unique opportunity to work with breeding dogs and neonates in the university’s Canine Performance Sciences Breeding Program.

“We are excited to support these programs and anticipate the positive impact they will have on canine health. Our collaboration with others who share our commitment to dogs makes this possible,” says CHF CEO, Dr. Stephanie Montgomery.
