Dr. Kim Romanufa

After graduating from high school Kim went to the University of Alberta where she went through a few majors and a few career choices before finally deciding on Veterinary Medicine. In 1995, she graduated from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine. After graduation she started at the Hermitage Veterinary Hospital in Edmonton where she is currently a partner and continues to practice.

Hermitage Veterinary Hospital encourages its staff to be involved in both their community and profession. As a result, she served 10 years on the Practice Inspection Practice Standards committee and 3 years on the ABVMA Council before becoming President. She also acted as the Council representative to the Animal Welfare Committee and ABVTA Board of Directors. Despite the fact, she's had the same home base for most of her life, she has a passion for adventure and travel. Kim routinely signs up for some off-beat exercise class or event. Some go well like paddleboarding, some not so well like circus school.

She also routinely goes to the Dominican where she combines her love for the water and Vet Med. She spends her mornings at Spay, Neuter and Wellness clinics and her afternoons attempting to KiteSurf. In addition to her addiction to water, she loves crazy races and completed the Near Death Marathon in 2016. These experiences always provide a source of fun and laughter that counterbalance the demands of the veterinary profession.

Kim has been actively involved in the veterinary community including having served as President of the ABVMA. She is currently a board member of WDCC, one of Alberta's top veterinary distributors.
