ACVS Foundations Legends Award

This weekend our very own, Dr. Jon Dee, DACVS, DACVSMR was honored to receive the ACVS Foundation Legends Award. This prestige award recognizes Diplomates of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons who have developed a surgical or diagnostic procedure of significant value, proven by becoming the treatment or test of choice for a given condition.

ACVS Foundation Legends Award

The ACVS Foundation Legends Award recognizes ACVS Diplomates who have developed a surgical or diagnostic procedure of significant value, proven by becoming the treatment or test of choice for a given condition. The procedure or test has 'withstood the test of time’ and, while perhaps modified over time, remains the treatment or diagnostic method of choice or the scientific basis for the current treatment of choice. The procedure or test is novel and involves advancements in veterinary surgical science and not reapplication of general medical science. The award is marked by the receipt of a plaque and recognition at the Awards Ceremony held in conjunction with the annual ACVS Surgery Summit.
