Dr. Jerry Roberson serves as Professor and Department Head of Veterinary Clinical Sciences at Lincoln Memorial University College of Veterinary Medicine (LMU-CVM), where he developed the food animal program since joining in 2015. A board-certified specialist in Large Animal Internal Medicine (DACVIM LAIM), he brings over 30 years of academic and clinical experience across multiple veterinary institutions.
His educational journey includes a DVM from Oklahoma State University (1986), food animal internship at Iowa State University (1987), and PhD in Veterinary Science from Washington State University (1993) with research on Staphylococcus aureus mastitis epidemiology.
Dr. Roberson's research centers on clinical mastitis treatment efficacy and small ruminant management practices. His work bridges laboratory investigation with field application, including surveys of St. Kitts small ruminant farmers and development of practical diagnostic tools. Recent publications (2017-2021) demonstrate continued innovation in bovine castration models, goat gastrointestinal diseases, and regional disease surveillance.
His publication trends reveal consistent focus on improving dairy and small ruminant health through evidence-based protocols, with increasing emphasis on zoonotic diseases and diagnostic methodology refinement.

- Teacher of the Year Awards (Classes of 1999, 2001)
- SCAVMA Outstanding Educator in Clinical Sciences (1998)
- Carl J. Norden: Pfizer Distinguished Teaching Award (2011)

As an active mentor, he guides LMU-CVM's food animal club (2018 Student Chapter of the Year winner) and integrates student training with clinical service. His professional leadership includes chairing ACVIM's General Exam Review Committee and serving on ADSA's Small Ruminant Program Committee, facilitating national collaborations in food animal medicine.
Dr. Roberson leads LMU-CVM's food animal program development, directing research teams focused on mastitis treatment validation and small ruminant management practices across Appalachian and Caribbean agricultural communities.
