Five years ago, the MGVP partnered with the University of California, Davis, School of Veterinary Medicine to form Gorilla Doctors, which is co-directed by Dr. Cranfield. Gorilla Doctors employs more than a dozen veterinarians and health experts to provide healthcare in the countries where mountain gorillas live. He was one of the first veterinarians to embrace the One Health concept for great ape conservation. He is a graduate of the University of Guelph's Ontario Veterinary College, and completed a residency program at the Toronto Zoo. He is also a consulting veterinarian for the Maryland Zoo and serves on the faculty at Johns Hopkins University.
