Dr. Rolfe Radcliffe completed veterinary school and residency training in large animal surgery at the University of Minnesota, and became board-certified as a large animal surgeon by the American College of Veterinary Surgeons in 2001.  While working at Cornell University, under the mentorship of Dr. Thomas Divers, Rolfe completed fellowship training in large animal emergency critical care and became board-certified by the American College of Emergency Critical Care in 2012. 

Dr. Radcliffe leads the Large Animal Emergency and Critical Care Service at Cornell, and his interests include large animal emergency critical care, colic surgery, orthopedics, and laparoscopy.  Rolfe is involved with several research projects at Cornell University, including the use of biomarkers in critical care horses, applications of human advances in the veterinary field, and innovations in teaching, such as the use of laparoscopy for guiding student learning of rectal palpation in horses.  Rolfe is also a talented falconer and works at the Cornell Raptor Program with their bald and golden eagles, and many other raptors.
