We send our congratulations to our friend and mentor Dr Richard Malik for his award of Member of the Order of Australia in the general division (AM) in yesterday’s Kings birthday honors.
Richard was a supervisor/mentor of Dr Mandy in 1994 when they worked on the Feline infectious disease Cryptococcosis and he supervised her residency in small animal medicine at Sydney Uni.
You can see from Richard’s list of prolific research and academic associations he has a long and illustrious career.
Many years later again in the same part of the world Richard is again a mentor to the younger vets at STVH, in particular Dr Maddy, as well as being a consultant to all the other vets in feline medicine and echocardiography amongst others aspects of clinical practice.
We express our gratitude and acknowledge his skill, dedication and care for us and our patients.
