Kara Scolman, MS, DVM

Rotating Veterinarian

I’m from Lakewood, Colorado and growing up I always loved animals and rode horses for the majority of my life. I continued that passion throughout my undergraduate career at TCU where I played for the club polo team. After graduation I came back to Colorado to complete my masters degree in biomedical sciences at CSU following which I moved to the midwest for vet school at the University of Illinois. During my time throughout school and my clinical year, I have found a passion for neurology and neurosurgery and am beyond excited to start my path towards specialization at Friendship as a rotating intern this year!

Outside of the hospital, I enjoy skiing, hiking and yoga. I also love going to concerts and exploring new cities. I have 2 cats, Eloise and Tulip who always keep me busy.
