Dr. Rawlings is a general surgeon who transitioned from Professor to Professor Emeritus in June 2004 after spending 30 years on the staff at the University of Georgia. He continues to practice, with his time divided between being a part-time surgeon at VCA Veterinary Referral Associates in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and as a surgery consultant.

Most consultation is providing endoscopic training in veterinary hospitals throughout the United States. These 2-6 days programs have accelerated the integration of rigid endoscopy into improved patient care. He is past-president of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons and directs Veterinary Endoscopy Training Symposia at the University of Georgia.

In addition to his clinical practice, he has conducted basic and clinical research into several areas involving heartworm disease, abdominal surgery, incontinence, and minimally invasive surgery. He works closely with surgical device companies.

His current research involves urinary incontinence and minimally invasive surgery. He is passionate about helping more veterinarians integrate endoscopy into their practices.

Dr. Radlinsky is a board-certified general surgeon who has been on staff at the University of Georgia since 2002. She was an assistant professor at Kansas State University for four years prior, and was a surgeon in private practice before returning to academia.

She enjoys teaching students of all ages, and her research interest is in minimally-invasive surgery, specifically endoscopic treatment of chylothorax. She also is interested in other areas, such as respiratory surgery and its affect on patients.

She is active in the Veterinary Endoscopy Society, serving as its president for three years, and remains on the current board as past-president. She is quite happy to see more and more integration of endoscopy into practices across the globe and hopes to continue teaching veterinarians interested in keeping themselves and the field alive.
