Dr Charmaine Tan

BSc, DVM (Murdoch), Veterinarian

Dr Charmaine Tan is a female Veterinarian.

Charmaine graduated from Murdoch University in 2020, and has completed a year of general practice coupled with a casual job of emergency medicine. At the end of 2021, she made the move to dive into emergency medicine full time in at The Animal Hospital at Murdoch University and to expand her experience further, she started at WAVES in a casual capacity in 2022. Outside of work, Charmaine will be also finishing her Graduate Certificate in Small Animal Emergency and Critical Care in November 2022.

Charmaine has been a veterinary nurse since 2012, starting off as a general practice nurse and branched out into some exotic nursing as well as emergency nursing. The focus on emergency nursing truly took off once she moved to Perth for veterinary studies, and she worked part time throughout her university days. Charmaine’s interest is focused on all aspects of critical care and medicine for small animals. She is embarking on an emergency and critical care internship next year at Murdoch University, and she is aiming for a residency in this field in the next few years.
