About iatra polygenos
Iatra Polygenos is ancient Greek for, roughly, “Doctor of Many Species,” but my real name is Karen. I’m a veterinarian in small-animal practice in Anchorage, Alaska. I earned my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine at Ohio State University 11 years ago, and am currently medical director of my practice. I contribute a roughly once-weekly column to this blog on the topic of science-based medicine, and will chime in from time to time on other subjects as well. Thanks for reading!
