Dr. Miranda Sadar is a graduate of the Colorado State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. After graduation, she completed a one-year clinical internship in zoological, zoological companion animal, and wildlife medicine at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

After finishing a two-year fellowship in wildlife medicine at the Wildlife Center of Virginia, she completed a zoological companion animal residency at the University of California, Davis. Dr. Sadar was an assistant professor at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in their zoological medicine service for two years prior to moving back to Colorado State University as an assistant professor in the Avian, Exotics, and Zoological Medicine service.

In 2016, Dr. Sadar became a Diplomate of the American College of Zoological Medicine (ACZM), with a focus on zoological companion animals. Dr. Sadar’s research interests focus around minimally invasive modalities to decrease stress, both situational and painful stress, in zoological, zoological companion animal, and wildlife species.

Dr. Sadar grew up in Colorado, and then moved around quite a bit prior to making back to her home state in 2017. She loves the outdoors, and that is where people will find her when she has free time. She loves guinea pigs, and has three at home. She also has three Russian tortoises who have been with her for nearly 20 years.
