Managing DVM
Dr. Amy Lister
Dr. Lister was born and raised on the East Coast of Canada, in Prince Edward Island, and comes from a long line of veterinarians—she’s the fourth generation in her family to pursue this career, although it wasn’t always the plan! After completing a Bachelor of Science at the University of New Brunswick, she realized vet school was the next step. Dr. Lister graduated from the Atlantic Veterinary College at the University of Prince Edward Island, then stayed in PEI to work in primary care practice.
She went on to complete a general internship at a busy Emergency and Specialty Referral practice in Newfoundland, followed by an additional internship specializing in Diagnostic Imaging (radiographs, ultrasound, and computed tomography). After two years of working in emergency medicine, Dr. Lister moved west to join Family Pet Hospital, where she has returned to her passion for primary care.
Her professional interests include diagnostic imaging and ultrasound, as well as interventional radiology, emergency and internal medicine, and feline care. Dr. Lister has lived in Alberta before, but is now a new resident of the Lethbridge area, drawn back by the mountains and winter sports. She’s brought her family along, including her husband, three energetic young children, four cats, and a saltwater aquarium.
