A move to Hong Kong in 1999 brought her back to Canine and Feline Medicine and she has been working in Small Animal Practice since then.
During this time, Dr. Baranger-Ete completed the Distance Education Sonology Course with the Post-Graduation Foundation of the University of Sydney in 2008 as well as a European Master of Small Animal Veterinary Medicine with the ESAVS (European School for Advanced Veterinary Studies) at the University of Luxemburg; focusing on Internal Medicine and Imaging, studying with Utrecht University (The Netherlands).
During five years, Dr. Baranger-Ete has worked alongside Dr. Paul Brazzell, gaining valuable and extensive experience in small animal abdominal and cardiac ultrasound.
In 2013, she and Dr. Brazzell created and launched Hong Kong Mobile Veterinary Ultrasound Service. Dr Myriam has, since then, been doing referral scans only, thrilled to be helping out all veterinarians in Hong Kong (and Asia in general) with their ultrasound needs.
Myriam also enjoys her time teaching other veterinarians ultrasound techniques in seminars and workshops in Asia, as well as in overseas courses or during "one-on-one in-clinic training" sessions.
In 2014, Dr Myriam also co-founded Hong Kong Veterinary Diagnostics (now rebranded as "Asia Veterinary Diagnostics"), veterinary specialty laboratory serving Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia.
Hong Kong Mobile Ultrasound Service merged with Hong Kong Veterinary Diagnostics Centre and Doctors Beck & Stone in 2015, in order to form the Doctors Beck & Stone -Diagnostics Division.
Dr Myriam was appointed as the Head of this Diagnostics Division, managing Director of the Mobile Ultrasound Service and Veterinary Specialty Laboratory in 2016. She has been thrilled to actively develop Advanced Diagnostic Imaging and Laboratory services throughout Asia since then and to manage HKVUS and AVD until last August 2018.
Dr Myriam is an active member of the International Veterinary Ultrasound Society and of the European Society of Veterinary Cardiology. She recently joined the Australasian Association of Veterinary Diagnostics Imaging after her family's temporary move to Melbourne (Australia).
