Our guest today is Dr. Kurt Selberg, a world-renowned specialist in equine diagnostic imaging. Kurt’s deep connection to horses started long before his clinical training; he grew up on a family-owned quarter horse ranch in North Idaho, an early foundation that clearly shaped his career.He began his formal path at Washington State University, where he earned his Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine (DVM), followed by an intensive sports medicine internship in Virginia. From there, he moved to Colorado State University to specialize in diagnostic imaging. Today, Kurt is a board-certified radiologist and a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Radiologists—titles that mark him as an elite expert in reading the complex scans of the equine body.In fact, he was a founding member of the specific subspecialty for equine diagnostic imaging. After a stint as an Assistant Professor at the University of Georgia, Kurt returned to Colorado State in 2016, where he now focuses on musculoskeletal imaging.Beyond the clinic, you’ll find him lecturing for the International Society of Equine Locomotor Pathology (also known as ISELP) or working as an FEI treating veterinarian. He also served as the on-site imaging consultant for the 2018 World Equestrian Games and the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. We are incredibly lucky to have him here to talk about protecting and supporting the equine athlete.In this episode, we discover the person behind the profession, because before being an expert in his field, Dr Kurt Selberg is a human who happens to have had an early connection to horses. This is the first episode of two. Happy listening! Links: https://www.iselp.org/https://www.insideinformationradiology.com/
