Members In The News Dr. Philip Prater honored by OSU/CVM Alumni Society
The Ohio State University CVM Alumni Society Recognition Awards are presented annually during Homecoming Weekend.
Tese awards are given to alumni who have shown distinction through their professional or non-professional activities.
Tis
year, the award was presented to three alumni who set themselves apart through excellence in veterinary medicine or enhancing their community.
One of the worthy recipients of this award was the KVMA’s own Dr. Philip Prater. Dr. Prater received his DVM degree from Ohio State in 1984 and has spent his career both as a professor at More- head State University and a lengthy involvement with the Ken- tucky Veterinary Medical Association (KVMA) where he served on its Executive Board and as President. He also served for several years as the secretary of the American College of Teriogenolo- gists. As a pre-veterinary advisor, Dr. Prater has counseled numerous aspiring veterinarians, and tirelessly worked to maintain state-funded contract spaces for Kentucky residents. In addition to his work in organized veterinary medicine, he has also provided his expertise to many countries around the world including Peru, Haiti and China. For his many years of service both within and outside the profession, Dr. Prater was named “Kentucky Veterinarian of the Year” in 2006. One can observe from his accomplishments and service that Dr. Prater has had a major and positive impact on animals and their owners, fellow veterinarians, future veterinarians and veterinary technicians, and society as a whole.
