Dr. McKenzie has been in small animal general practice for eighteen years, but he has always pursued a wide range of interests, both within and outside of veterinary medicine. After completing a bachelor’s degree with majors in English Literature and Biology at the University of California at Santa Cruz, he followed his youthful dream of becoming a primatologist. He completed a Master’s Degree in Animal Behavior and worked for several years in environmental enrichment and primate behavior. Eventually, Dr. McKenzie’s interest in animals shifted to healthcare, and he attended the School of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. In addition to working in private practice as a small animal vet, he has served as President of the Evidence-Based Veterinary Medicine Association, taught veterinary students as a clinical instructor for the College of Veterinary Medicine at Western University of Health Sciences, and taught scientific writing to biology majors at San Jose State University. Dr. McKenzie has shared his expertise in evidence-based medicine with his colleagues through lectures at veterinary conferences and a monthly column in Veterinary Practice News magazine. He has also reached out to pet owners through the SkeptVet Blog and contributions to the Science-Based Medicine Blog. While working as a clinician, teaching, and writing, Dr. McKenzie has continued to pursue post-graduate training, and he completed his MSc in Epidemiology at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine in 2015. In his sparse free time, Dr. McKenzie enjoys playing his mandolin and guitar, travelling with his family, and sitting on the couch with his dogs watching the hummingbirds and woodpeckers outside his living room window.
