Dr. James (Jamie) Lehman received the American Association of Swine Veterinarians’ Technical Services/Allied Industry Veterinarian of the Year Award March 2 during the association’s 52nd Annual Meeting, held virtually. Established in 2008, the award recognizes swine industry veterinarians who have demonstrated an unusual degree of proficiency and effectiveness in delivery of veterinary service to their companies and their clients, as well as given tirelessly in service to the AASV and the swine industry.
Lehman was introduced to veterinary medicine as a sophomore in high school after being hired by Dr. Jason James as a janitor and kennel worker for the Sullivan Veterinary Clinic. Over time, he was allowed to ride with the vets on farm calls and to help with the many embryo transfer surgeries that Dr. James performed.  He credits the mentorship of all the vets and staff at the clinic for the early exposure to veterinary medicine which served as a foundation to his career.     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
