Charles McCauley serves as Associate Professor of Equine Surgery in the Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences at Louisiana State University's School of Veterinary Medicine, where he has been faculty since February 2006. A Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons, he bridges clinical practice with academic leadership in veterinary surgical education.

His educational foundation includes:

• DVM, Texas A&M University (1995)
• BS, Texas A&M University (1990)

Dr. McCauley's research focuses on equine surgical innovation, with significant contributions in orthopedic conditions (navicular disease, spinal compression), reproductive pathology, and soft tissue tumor management. His work integrates advanced diagnostic imaging with clinical skills pedagogy, addressing critical gaps in veterinary surgical training through evidence-based methodology.

Recent publications (2014-2021) reveal consistent diagnostic case documentation in high-impact journals, emphasizing practical clinical applications over theoretical research. The output demonstrates strong translational focus with 100% of first-author works directly applicable to equine clinical practice.
