Ryane E. Englar

Ryane E. Englar, DVM, DABVP (Canine and Feline Practice) is a 2008 graduate of Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine. Following graduation, she spent five years as an associate veterinarian in small animal practice, split between her home state of Maryland and her home-away-from-home, upstate New York. She then became a Clinical Instructor of the Community Practice Service at Cornell’s Companion Animal Hospital and a Consultant for the Louis J. Camuti Hotline in association with Cornell’s Feline Health Center.

In February 2014, Dr. Englar relocated to Arizona, where she was privileged to be founding faculty for Midwestern University College of Veterinary Medicine. As an Assistant Professor of Small Animal Primary Care, she designed and debuted the communications coursework for the inaugural class of 2018. By developing 27 standardized client encounters over eight pre-clinical quarters, she was able to expand the breadth and depth of standardized client encounters in the veterinary curriculum. Her experiences in simulation-based education have been detailed in her active publication history with the Journal of Veterinary Medical Education.

Dr. Englar joined the faculty at Kansas State University in May 2017 to build the clinical skills curriculum for first and second year veterinary students. Her coursework emphasizes hands-on training with the opportunity for practice and repetition to build those clinical and professional skills that promote Day-One-Ready graduates. Her interests in the design and development of non-animal teaching models have led her and her team to create novel learning opportunities for her students.

Dr. Englar joined her "Forever Home" at the University of Arizona College of Veterinary Medicine in February 2020 to pave the way with other founding faculty for the inaugural Class of 2023. The University of Arizona College of Veterinary Medicine officially opened its doors this past August and she is so excited to share her classroom with 110 new colleagues! Teaching is her greatest passion. She looks forward to seeing this university grow and thrive.

When Dr. Englar is not teaching or brainstorming new approaches to learning, she is a competitive ballroom dancer and artist. She trains under the one and only Lowell Fox at Arrowhead Arthur Murray in Peoria, AZ.
