Canadian Sports Medicine Practice Owner Joins AAEP Board of Directors

Ty Corbiell, DVM, owner of Cor Veterinary Services in Cluny, Alberta, Canada, has joined the board of directors of the American Association of Equine Practitioners. He was installed Dec. 10 during the AAEP’s 70th Annual Convention in Orlando, Fla. His three-year term expires in 2027. 

Dr. Corbiell received his veterinary degree in 2009 from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine at University of Saskatchewan. After completing an internship at Idaho Equine Hospital in Nampa, Idaho, he returned to Alberta and entered private practice for several years.  

In 2013, Dr. Corbiell founded Cor Veterinary Services, an equine-exclusive sports medicine-focused practice that has expanded into a multi-doctor practice offering both ambulatory and in-clinic services. While managing a busy practice and caring for client horses from across Western Canada and the U.S. that come to Alberta for competitions, Dr. Corbiell enjoys mentoring young veterinarians and veterinary students who come through his practice.  

Dr. Corbiell attended the AAEP Lead leadership workshop in 2021 and currently serves on the Performance Horse and Educational Programs committees. He previously served on the Scientific Review and Editorial Committee. Beyond the AAEP, Dr. Corbiell serves on the Alberta Veterinary Medical Association’s Equine Advisory Council and, in 2015, received the Alberta Veterinary Medical Association’s Emerging Leaders Program award at the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association Convention.
