Dr. Kelly Hall, DVM
Dr. Kelly Hall is a tenured Professor at Colorado State University and the Medical Director of the Small Animal Specialty Hospital. Dr. Hall completed much of her veterinary training at the University of Minnesota (DVM, &#39;98; DACVECC, &#39;08; MS Clinical Research, &#39;13) and was clinical faculty there for 14 years. Dr. Hall has a passion for improving trauma patient care through education and collaborative clinical and translational research. She is the Executive Director of the ACVECC Veterinary Committee on Trauma (VetCOT) which leverages a multi-disciplinary and multi- institutional approach to improving trauma patient care (vetcot.org). The VetCOT international Veterinary Trauma Center network established a veterinary trauma patient registry that has prospectively captured data on &gt; 74,000 canine and feline cases and resulted in over 30 publications and growing (May 2025). An additional goal of the initiative is to utilize naturally occurring canine trauma as an efficient and applicable model for the evaluation of new drugs, devices or interventions on the continuum of medical advancement from bench to beside. Dr. Hall considers herself an educator, coach, clinical researcher, leader, and strong collaborator. Primary drivers of Dr. Hall’s philosophy, whether on the clinic floor, on the basketball court, in the classroom, or advancing research collaborations include Angela Duckworth’s research on “grit”, Carol Dweck’s research on “growth mindset” and John Wooden’s “pyramid of success”.
