Eliza Hołdowańska-Kroczak, DVM

Experience: Graduate of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences (2009). For over two decades she has been developing her practical skills as an orthopaedic surgeon. As a student she was already building her foundation of skills under the guidance of her father, Andrzej Hołdowański, DVM, a specialist surgeon. Specialisation in radiology. Specialisation in surgery (in progress). Chair of the Training Committee of the Lower Silesian Veterinary Chamber and member of the Training Committee of the Polish National Veterinary Chamber.

Interests: Orthopaedics is part of her everyday life: she consults on complex cases and complications sent to her by colleagues from across the country, attends several themed conferences a year, and weekend get-togethers with friends from her specialisation often turn to discussions of complex fractures and osteosyntheses. She cares about continuously raising the quality, knowledge and services provided by veterinarians in Poland, which is why she serves on the training committees of the veterinary chambers, both Lower Silesian and national. Outside work she relaxes in the forest picking mushrooms, and at home she shares her life with three adopted cats that nobody wanted to take in. Her ideal place to relax is Denmark.
