Katie Swift, DVM, MS, DACVR

Dr. Katie Swift attended the University of Wyoming for undergraduate studies. She earned her bachelor’s degree in Animal Science with heavy attention to wildlife and agriculture. She continued to Colorado State University for veterinary school; in her junior clinical curriculum she became interested in radiation oncology.  After veterinary school she practiced general medicine then returned to Colorado State University’s Flint Animal Cancer Center to pursue an internship and residency in radiation oncology. She was trained with heavy emphasis in stereotactic radiosurgery/stereotactic body radiation therapy (SRS/SBRT); the heart of her clinical specialty and research interests. Additionally, she has marked interest in the use of radiation to treat chronic inflammatory conditions and non-oncologic pathologies. Following her residency, she stayed at the Flint Animal Cancer Center for a year before continuing onto private specialty practice on the Front Range.

In addition to private practice, she remains strongly involved in clinical academia by remotely partnering with the University of Saskatchewan.

A rare true native of the Rocky Mountains, Dr. Swift enjoys spending time with her husband and family skiing, biking, wake boarding and surfing.  She practices Krav Maga and has a deep avidity for fitness. She believes physical strength, physical accomplishments, and physical endurance are robust reciprocating mediators of mental strength, emotional stability, and professional ambition.
