Ylva Winsborg is a soft tissue surgeon at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. She was born in Sweden and graduated from University of Copenhagen, Denmark in 2014. After graduation Ylva has been licensed and practised veterinary medicine in Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Iceland. 

Surgery and teaching has always been two of her main passions and the combination constantly gives reason to think about how and why we perform different surgical procedures. During her career Ylva has also volunteered as a veterinarian in Nepal where the main focus was Rabies vaccination and spaying and neutering of dogs and cats for population control. 

These different experiences have given Ylva a thorough insight into different cultural approaches and demands from the veterinary community in different types of societies.
