Linda Ellis, DVM Lead Trust Veterinarian Professional Liability Resource for AVG
It seems Dr. Ellis has always been devoted to the care of animals and the veterinary profession. By age 8 she knew her destiny—and didn’t waste time with a back-up plan. Summers at her grandparents’ thoroughbred farm introduced her to veterinary care, and it was around that time her dad nicknamed her Bird.
As Lead Trust Veterinarian, Dr. Ellis is here for you. She speaks directly with AVMA members if they have an adverse event during treatment or need guidance with claims. She also dedicates her time to educating AVMA members and veterinary students on risk management and claims avoidance through presentations at veterinary schools, veterinary meetings, and Trust newsletters.
When you speak with Dr. Ellis, be sure to ask about Lily and Olive, her two Labradors (she’s had Labradors for more than 30 years), and Pikachu and Starly, her Cockatiels.
