COLUMBUS, OHIO \u2014 MARCH 7, 2019 \u2014 Cincinnati-area veterinarian Dr. Dave Bauman has been named the 2018 Veterinarian of the Year by the Ohio Veterinary Medical Association (OVMA). The award, considered the Association\u2019s most prestigious honor, was presented by outgoing OVMA President Dr. Liesa Stone during a special awards ceremony at the annual Midwest Veterinary Conference, Feb. 21 to 24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\u201cA lifetime of achievement as an educator, a volunteer, and a veterinarian clearly represents the qualities worthy of recognition as veterinarian of the year,\u201d Dr. Stone said in presenting the award. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 1973 graduate of The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine, Dr. Bauman has dedicated more than four decades to the veterinary profession. He taught laboratory animal medicine at the University of Cincinnati (UC) veterinary technology program for 42 years, served as president of the southern Ohio branch of the American Association for Laboratory Animal Science and the Cincinnati VMA, and dedicated 18 years to the OVMA Board of Directors. Upon retirement in 2008, he was recognized with UC\u2019s Distinguished Teaching Award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She is the fifth woman to hold the position. A third-generation veterinarian, Dr. Yoakam is charged with representing the Association and working with its Board of Directors in pursuing strategic initiatives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am\nhonored to represent veterinarians in both my local area and from across the\nstate,\u201d Dr. Yoakam said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
