Frane graduated in veterinary medicine from the Vetsuisse faculty of the University of Zurich, Switzerland, in 2015. After initially working in the private sector and as a Swiss army vet, he started his doctoral thesis in small animal cardiology at the University of Zurich in the area of cardiovascular effects of physical activity in sporting dogs. In 2017, he started a rotational internship with specialty focus in cardiology, which led him in 2018 to the ECVIM-CA specialisation programme (cardiology), which was successfully completed in 2022. Frane then started working as a freelance cardiologist in several centres in Switzerland, offering on-site consultations in the French- and German-speaking regions and in the canton of Ticino, through his company 'VetMeister'. In April 2022, he served for six months at the University of Zurich in the Department of Endocrinology, acquiring further advanced knowledge in the field of endocrinology, while continuing to develop his Freelancer activity. From January 2023 Frane restarted the cardiology service at the University of Glasgow, taking the reins as head of service and participating in various areas of comparative research with the aim of further developing the range of services offered. Frane continues, despite its location in the united kingdom, to offer its services in the various Swiss regions.
