Dr. Hélène Lardé received her degree in veterinary medicine in 2009 in France (Alfort). Then, she moved to the Québec province of Canada for an internship in medicine and surgery of farm animals and a residency in large animal surgery. She stayed in Canada for a decade and practiced as a clinician at the teaching hospital of the Faculty of veterinary medicine (Université de Montréal). She completed a master’s in veterinary sciences on bovine arthroscopy, and she is currently finishing a PhD on antimicrobial usage in Québec dairy farms.
