Biography
Dr. Lisa Freeman is a faculty member in the Cardiology Service at the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine. As a Board Certified Veterinary Nutritionist, she teaches veterinary students, veterinarians, and pet owners about optimal feeding for their pets, especially those with heart disease. She conducts research on the role of nutrition in the development and management of heart disease and heads the Cummings School's Residents' Enhanced Veterinary Education and Academic Learning (REVEAL) Program. She also has a secondary faculty appointment at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy.
Dr. Freeman earned a bachelor's from Tufts University, a DVM from the Cummings School, and a PhD in nutrition from the Gerald J. and Dorothy R. Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy—earning her the rare distinction of holding a degree from each of Tufts University's three campuses. Her original intent was to become an equine veterinarian, but, through her studies, she became increasingly interested in nutrition and its role in preventing and treating disease.
Dr. Freeman teaches in all four years of the veterinary curriculum at the Cummings School and helps Cummings graduates to be well prepared to provide their patients with optimal nutritional care. Dr. Freeman also is passionate about helping veterinarians and pet owners learn to objectively provide the best nutrition possible to dogs and cats with heart disease.
