Emergency Critical Care
Mariana A. Pardo BVSc, MV, DACVECC
Dr. Mariana Pardo is a trailblazing force in the world of veterinary medicine, exemplifying the transformative power of dedication and education. In 2009, she embarked on her journey at Universidad Mayor, Chile, where she laid the foundation for her remarkable career.
Her pursuit of excellence led her to the University of Georgia and the University of Florida, where she honed her skills through not one, but two emergency and critical care internships. Driven by an insatiable hunger for knowledge, she then pursued her emergency and critical care residency at Cornell University.
Dr. Pardo is more than just a skilled practitioner; she is a bilingual ambassador for knowledge and change. As an international speaker, she bridges the gap between cultures, sharing her expertise far and wide. Her prolific contributions extend beyond the lecture hall; she has authored multiple articles and book chapters, leaving an indelible mark on the field.
In a digital age, Dr. Pardo has leveraged the power of social media through her platform @criticalcareveterinarian, bringing accessible continuing education to a global audience. Her dedication to teaching is not just a profession; it's a calling. She is on a mission to give back to the Latin American community, generously participating in numerous continuing education programs.
However, Dr. Pardo's influence extends beyond her professional achievements. She is a passionate advocate for diversity and inclusion in veterinary medicine, and her commitment is evident in her role as a member of the American College of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee.
In 2024, Dr. Pardo's life journey led to the inspiration to create Global Instruction for Veterinary Empowerment or GIVE, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that has the mission of creating global veterinary advancement by empowering sustainable specialty-level care in areas where these services are not available or cost-prohibitive.
Dr. Pardo's journey is an inspiring testament to the heights one can reach through unwavering dedication, education, and a deep commitment to making veterinary medicine more inclusive and accessible for all.
