The scholarship of discovery that he is involved with has primarily focused on clinical gastroenterology including pathology of the gastrointestinal tract. Dr. Willard has so far provided over 3,200 hours of invited post-graduate education (i.e., CE) not including lectures at other universities (including universities outside the US), which has involved substantial travel. His post-graduate teaching has included contributions to veterinary textbooks, of which currently over 140 have been published. Additionally, Dr. Willard has been an Associate editor of the Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine for the past 10 years. Dr. Willard is a small animal internist at Texas A&M University with a special emphasis on gastroenterology, endoscopy, pancreatology, and hepatology.
