Dr. Christina Fernandez graduated
with a Bachelors degree in Biology from The State University
of New York at Stony Brook in 1998. Prompted by a love for
traveling and a high motivation to study veterinary
medicine, she moved to Grenada in 2003 to pursue her
veterinary studies. During that time she spent three months
studying abroad in Uganda, East Africa and completed her
fourth year of clinical training at The University of
Edinburgh in Scotland. She graduated with honors from St.
George’s University School of Veterinary Medicine in 2007.
After graduation, Dr. Fernandez took a clinical position on
the faculty at St. George’s University. She enjoyed
practicing medicine and surgery as well as teaching and
mentoring students there for over a year. During that time
she also provided shelter medicine services for the Grenada
SPCA. Due to a strong desire to fully immerse herself in an emergency/critical care setting, Dr. Fernandez moved back to New York in 2008, where she practiced for two years in a 24-hour emergency clinic providing care for critically ill and injured animals. Since that time she has
decided to pursue advanced training toward board
certification in the specialty of Small Animal Emergency and
Critical Care and has joined the Four Seasons Animal
Hospital emergency/critical care staff. Dr. Fernandez is a
member of the Phi Zeta Veterinary Honor Society and a member
of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons in the United
Kingdom. She has also published two articles in the
scientific literature.
In her free time Chrissy loves to read, spend time outdoors,
visit family and friends abroad, and travel with her husband
who is also a veterinarian. They share their home with two
dogs and two cats and are excited about exploring the west
coast in their free time. |
