Dr. Andrea Bischofberger earned her veterinary degree (med. vet.) from the University of Zürich in 2004, followed by her doctorate (Dr. med. vet.) in 2006. She began her clinical career with an internship at the University of Bern, Switzerland, and at Chino Valley Equine Hospital, California, USA. Her dedication to equine surgery led her to complete a residency in equine surgery at the University of Sydney, Australia, from 2008 to 2012. She is board certified in large animal surgery by both the American and the European College of Veterinary Surgeons (ACVS/ECVS).

In 2012, Dr. Bischofberger returned to Switzerland, where she worked as an equine emergency surgeon at the University of Bern for a year before joining the equine hospital at the University of Zürich. Over the next decade (2012-2022), she worked as an equine surgeon at this institution. During this period, she completed her PhD (2014-2018) on the "Early detection of degeneration of the equine joint cartilage using quantitative MRI techniques" and her Habilitation (2018) on “Experimental investigations and clinical applications of innovative strategies to improve wound healing in horses.”

Dr. Bischofberger is currently a senior clinical lecturer in diagnostic imaging at the Vetsuisse Faculty, University of Zürich, Switzerland. She has been part of this team since 2022. This is also where she pursued her residency training in large animal diagnostic imaging from 2022 to 2025.

She is also an extensively published author in the areas of diagnostic imaging and equine surgery. Throughout her career, she has been dedicated to enhancing clinical education and veterinary research, particularly in equine orthopedics and lameness.
