Shane Bateman graduated from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine, in Saskatoon, in 1991.  He worked in rural mixed animal practice prior to completing a small animal internship in 1993-94 and residency in Emergency/Critical Care (E/CC) in 1994-97 at the Ontario Veterinary College. Shane was a clinical track faculty member at The Ohio State University from 1998-2008 developing programs in E/CC and Community Practice, a rotating small animal internship-training program, and Human-Animal Bond programs.  Since returning to Canada in 2009, Shane has been active in a number of animal welfare and human-animal bond projects.  He is currently a member of the Board of the Guelph Humane Society and has been a driving force behind the Guelph Cat Population Taskforce initiative.  In addition, Shane is the Regional Co-Director for Community Veterinary Outreach- a charity that provides free preventive veterinary care for pets whose owners are homeless or at risk of homelessness.  He also participates in a number of initiatives that deliver preventive care at low cost to First Nations communities in SW Ontario.  He is passionate about involving veterinary students in all of these activities.
