Professor Emeritus Linda Blythe traveled to Uppsala, Sweden last month to receive a fellowship for distinguished achievement in veterinary rehabilitation from the International Association for Veterinary Rehabilitation and Physical Therapy. The award is given to veterinary faculty who have demonstrated a deep and ongoing dedication to the goals and long-term future of the profession.
Awardees typically apply for the fellowship, but Blythe was surprised when the association chose to give her the award. She is one of the founders of the American College of Veterinary Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation.
Blythe’s award was given at a banquet in the College of Veterinary Medicine at Swedish University. A seasoned traveler, Blythe was impressed with the modern veterinary facilities and enjoyed the local customs: “When they have a banquet, everyone gets on the tables and salutes the horse,” says Blythe. “I don’t know why.”
