Dr. Brad Cotter was raised in Pender Harbour, on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia and was a 2001 graduate of the Western College of Veterinary Medicine (University of Saskatchewan). He became a board-certified diplomat of the American College of Veterinary Radiologists (ACVR) in 2021 after completion of an imaging internship and residency at the University of Saskatchewan. This new endeavour followed a rotating internship and 16 years of emergency practice at multiple referral hospitals across Canada and the US. Following his residency, he remained in a faculty role at the Western College of Veterinary medicine for 2 years. Since that time he has been working with a worldwide teleradiology company prior to his return to clinical practice with VCA. His special interests are primarily cross-sectional imaging including ultrasound, CT, and MRI in small animals. When not at work, Dr. Cotter is an avid traveler, hiker, skier/snowboarder, and enjoys any activity around the ocean.
