We are so excited to welcome Dr. Trish Diudea to the CVVH team as our newest VGAL! 💙🐾
A VGAL (Veterinary Graduate Awaiting Licensure) is a fully trained veterinarian who practices under the supervision of a licensed Veterinarian while completing the final steps toward full licensure. This role allows them to continue building clinical confidence, refining skills, and delivering compassionate care as they transition into independent practice.
Dr. Diudea’s story is truly inspiring.
Born in Romania, she immigrated with her family and eventually became both a U.S. and Canadian citizen. She completed her veterinary education abroad before making Colorado her home for the past 11 years.
Outside of work, Dr. Diudea is all about adventure and the outdoors. She’s an avid equestrian who competes in endurance riding with her Arabian horse, Whiskey, and when winter hits, you’ll often find her snowboarding or spending time in the mountains. ❄️🏔️
She officially joins our team on December 1st. During her first couple of months, you may see her tagging along with our doctors in exam rooms as she shadows and mentors with them. Once she feels comfortable, she’ll begin taking on her own cases!
Please join us in giving Dr. Diudea the warmest CVVH welcome — we’re thrilled to have her as part of our family! 💙🐾
