Biography
Dr. Katherine Spry completed her undergraduate degrees in Agribusiness Management/Animal Science and her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine at Iowa State University. Following three years of mixed animal practice in Minnesota and Wisconsin, Dr. Spry shifted her focus to emergency medicine and critical care. After relocating to Kansas City, she dedicated 16 years to emergency medicine and critical care in a 24-hour, multiple specialty private practice.
Dr. Spry then endeavored upon a three-year, private practice internal medicine residency in Overland Park, Kansas. Upon completion of her residency, she continued on with the same specialty and emergency medicine practice for another six years. While working in the internal medicine department, she served as one of the founding members of a satellite clinic for emergency medicine and specialty care. In 2020, Dr. Spry moved to the beautiful Pacific Northwest to practice internal medicine at a 24-hour emergency and speciality hospital in Seattle.
Dr. Spry is interested in many aspects of internal medicine/critical care and her diverse background has been a great benefit to the care of her patients.

What does Limited to the Practice of Internal Medicine mean?
A veterinarian who has completed residency training, but is not board certified may indicate that his or her practice is “Limited to the Practice of Internal Medicine,” and no connection to the ACVIM is implied or intended.
A “Practice Limited” veterinarian has undergone extensive additional training after veterinary school, consisting of a minimum of a 1-year internship followed by a 3-year residency program. During the residency there are specific training and caseload requirements that must be met and anyone who wishes to pursue board certification after residency must also perform research that is published in a scientific journal.
Veterinarians who practice internal medicine under the “Practice Limited” designation may or may not choose to complete the board certification process. Any “Practice Limited” veterinarians employed by MOVES have a demonstrated track record of successful outcomes and the unreserved recommendation of their peers and mentors.
