Emil Olsen
Emil Olsen is a comparative neurologist at IVC Evidensia Specialist Animal Hospital Strömsholm in Sweden and a part-time clinical lecturer at the Swedish Agricultural University (SLU).
Emil graduated from the University of Copenhagen in 2005. He went into general ambulatory equine practice until 2009, when he undertook a PhD at the University of Copenhagen, researching subjective and objective assessment of gait in ataxic horses. The research was carried out at the Royal Veterinary College in the U.K. In 2013, he went on to a large animal internal medicine residency at the Cornell Nemo Farm Animal and Equine Teaching Hospital and, in 2014, a dual residency in Neurology. Emil holds ACVIM diplomas in both Large Animal Internal Medicine and Neurology.
Emil’s research interests are focused on gait analysis in animals with proprioceptive ataxia and activity monitoring as a biomarker for pain as well as inflammatory and infectious neurologic diseases and very much enjoys veterinary education.
