Gregory Cline, DVM, received the American Association of Swine Veterinarians’ (AASV) Technical Services/Allied Industry Veterinarian of the Year award March 1 during the association’s 53rd Annual Meeting in Indianapolis.
Cline received this award for his unusual degree of proficiency and effectiveness in delivery of veterinary service to companies and clients, as well as tirelessly serving AASV and the swine industry.
“I can think of no greater honor than to be recognized by one’s peers. It certainly is a privilege to work in the swine industry, a privilege I enjoy every day,” Cline said in a release.
He received his DVM from the University of Missouri, which started his career in private practice as a food animal practitioner, later transitioning to production as a veterinarian for Cargill Pork and Carroll’s Food.
In 2001, Cline joined Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health and has held multiple roles, AASV shared in a release, and is now the senior key account veterinarian-swine. In this role, he offers sales support of key corporate accounts by on-farm diagnostic, therapeutic and swine management support and ensures compliance with USDA’s pharmacovigilance requirements. He establishes and manages product demonstrations and field trials and communicates technical trial results to internal and external stakeholders. He is also involved in the training of customers.
He’s known for his extensive experience in production systems, private practice and technical service, but practitioners say they rely most on his humble, yet direct, approach to problem solving and technical service to guide decisions for strategic product implementation.
Finishing his second term on the AASV Board of Directors representing the states of Missouri, Kentucky and Arkansas in District 3, Cline has a long history of leadership and service within AASV, the organization said in a release. He is an active member of the Human Health, Safety and Well-being Committee.
