He has taught and lectured at veterinary schools and conferences nationally and internationally. He has been a Clinical Assistant Professor at both Colorado State University College of Veterinary Medicine as well as Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine. In 1996, he was appointed to a six-member committee by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) to develop guidelines for Complementary and Alternative Veterinary Medicine (CAVM).

His extensive clinical experience with complementary therapies, combined with an interest in the latest research, led to his editing the two principle veterinary textbooks on these modalities. Veterinary Acupuncture: Ancient Art to Modern Medicine, first published in 1994, is now in its second printing. Complementary & Alternative Veterinary Medicine: Principles and Practice (co edited with Susan Wynn, DVM) was published in 1998. Both have been translated into other languages.

He was honored with an honorary Ph.D. from Becker College for his contributions to veterinary medicine as well as receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Association of Veterinary Acupuncture for his groundbreaking contributions to Veterinary Acupuncture. He has received research grants for evaluating new approaches to animal health care.

Dr. Schoen continues to explore the integration of mind/body medicine and other cutting edge approaches into veterinary medicine and animal health care. In addition, he feels that the integration of an attitude of loving kindness and compassion into all endeavors is an integral part of healing all beings and our world. Dr. Schoen divides his time between his veterinary practice, teaching, writing and developing new approaches to animal health care, all infused with a foundation of loving kindness and compassion for all beings. ...more
