Cynthia MacKenzie, DVM Trust Veterinarian Professional Liability Resource for AmeriVet Veterinary Partners

Not surprisingly, Dr. MacKenzie’s journey to veterinarian started with her love of all animals. But it’s her devotion to horses that helps define her positive work. Prior to joining the AVMA Trust, she co-founded the Unwanted Horse Veterinary Relief campaign to provide vaccines to qualifying equine rescues.

As a Trust veterinarian, she’s a dedicated advocate to AVMA members during claims processes and is devoted to creating educational resources and presentations to further the profession. It’s that support that allows members to focus more on what Dr. MacKenzie believes is the best part of being a veterinarian: supporting the human-animal bond by helping improve the lives of animals and the people that love them.

Oh, and when you connect with Dr. MacKenzie, be sure to ask her for a photo of Delta, her “very spoiled and rotten” Border Collie-Labrador Retriever mix.
