Dr. Jamieson was born in rural Vermont, but traveled and moved with her family, living in the UK and Portugal and then Oklahoma, Texas, and Qatar to pursue her career in equine medicine.

Dr. Jamieson graduated from the University of Nottingham School of Veterinary Medicine and Science in 2011 as one of the flagship graduating class. She began to specialize in equine practice from her first externships after her first year of vet school, and went on to complete her internship at Lingfield Equine Vets in Surrey, where she had spent much time as a student. She stayed at LEV as an associate before moving back stateside to complete her specialist training. 

Dr. Jamieson’s passion for medicine, especially high risk and critical care foals, drew her to specialize in internal medicine, completing a fellowship and residency in Large Animal Internal Medicine at Oklahoma State University. She obtained board certification with the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACVIM) in 2018. During this period, she worked with a number of infectious disease researchers in the region, and developed a passion for research, with a focus on critical care modalities that improve the outcomes of the equine patient.

Dr. Jamieson then spent a year in private practice in Houston Texas, working with various disciplines of horses including top rodeo and ranch horses, elite jumpers, and dressage horses, which increased her skills in sports medicine and lameness, however, her love for foals, and equine research drew her to the opportunities at the EVMC in Doha, where she spent 4 years establishing the internal medicine and anesthesia services. However, after 4 years in the Middle East, missing home and missing the world of academia, as well as her growing passion for emergency medicine, brought Dr. Jamieson back to the states where she did a 4-month locum as an emergency clinician at Hagyard Equine Medical Institute before joining the faculty at Purdue as an Assistant Professor of Large Animal Emergency and Critical Care.

In her spare time, Dr. Jamieson enjoys training her KWPN gelding Architect and is looking forward to exploring the Indiana dressage circuit this summer. She also enjoys yoga, rock climbing, and she has recently discovered a love for SUP and SUP yoga. If she’s not at the clinic, the barn, or the gym, you can find Dr. Camilla out to dinner with friends!
