Dr. Kenneth Sinibaldi Receives WSU
Distinguished Veterinary Alumnus Award for Excellence in
Veterinary Practice
|
Dr. Kenneth Sinibaldi (’69) has dedicated his entire career to developing new
and improved procedures for use in veterinary surgery and then sharing them with
his colleagues. He has been involved in over 30 major research projects, and has
taught for nearly 4 decades. Yet to his closest friends, it is his work as an
outstanding practitioner that led to this award. |
 |
|
 |
|
Stories abound both publicly and privately of his treatment of family pets,
police dogs, and even zoo animals. Dr. Sinibaldi has donated countless hours of time, and energy to
helping agencies such as the Woodland Park Zoo, and the Seattle and King County
K-9 Police Departments. Yet perhaps his greatest compliment came from his fellow
practitioners who insist there is no better animal caregiver they would rather
turn for distinguished surgical treatment and care, then Dr. Kenneth Sinibaldi.

Ouagadougou, Upper Volta (now called Burkina Faso), five years in Tunisia, and
three years in Pakistan.

should be viewed from the thousands of beneficiaries who will have… a more
sufficient supply of nutritious food. His vision of what was needed for a
sustained long term effort of improvement shows his wisdom in program planning.”
