Barbara Maton, DVM, DACVECC Clinical Assistant Professor, Emergency & Critical Care
Dr. Barbara Maton obtained her Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of North Florida Magna Cum Laude, and her Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine from the University of Florida Cum Laude. During her studies, she worked as a veterinary nurse in veterinary hospitals including the ICU at the veterinary teaching hospital at the University of Florida. After veterinary school, she completed a heavily emergency-and-critical-care-focused rotating Internship at SouthPaws Veterinary Specialists and Emergency Center in Fairfax, Virginia. Intrigued with Emergency and Critical Care following internship, she accepted a position as an Emergency Doctor at AVETS outside of Pittsburgh, PA, in a busy referral hospital working alongside four Emergency and Critical Care (ECC) specialists and a residency program in ECC. After two years in this saturated environment, Dr. Maton followed her passion in ECC and decided to pursue a residency in Emergency and Critical Care at AVETS, where the program and caseload had proven strong. Following residency, she joined a referral hospital in Delaware, where she was the first ECC specialist and helped raise the level of medicine and pioneer the ECC service. Since then she has spent years in busy referral practices in NJ developing ECC services, including roles as Medical Director, Chief Medical Officer, and VETCOT Trauma Lead for large leading referral hospitals in New Jersey. She has also led Biosecurity and Protocol teams, as well as educational events for new and established veterinarians. In her work, she has collaborated with other specialists, and developed and grew a new 24-hour specialty referral hospital. Dr. Maton values teamwork, collaboration, a high level of medicine, continued learning, teaching, and strives to encourage that within hospital teams. She also enjoys supporting hospital growth and evolution, including key roles in biosecurity, protocols, hospital certifications, and blood donor programs. Dr. Maton is excited to join the team at Shreiber School of Veterinary medicine. She is passionate about CPR medicine, electrolyte derangements, trauma, and research, and enjoys hosting wetlabs to encourage hands-on learning and practice. When she is not saving fur-family lives and growing and developing referral hospitals, she has fun with family activities, outdoor activities, gardening, and travelling. She enjoys her home with two vivacious children, supportive husband, retired Labrador, two crazy cats, challenging beta fish, and curious back-yard chickens. |
