Dr. Martin Burnett began his education at California State Polytechnic University at Pomona in 1973.

He earned his Bachelor's degree in Agricultural Science in 1977 and began teaching Vocational Agriculture that summer in Yucaipa, California. 

Continuing his education he completed his Master's degree in 1980 and moved his family to Camas Valley, Oregon to continue his teaching career and to raise his three sons in a rural atmosphere.

In 1980 he resigned from the teaching position to enter Veterinary School in the Oregon State/Washington State University programs. Following graduation in 1994, Dr. Burnett joined the Bailey Veterinary Clinic to pursue the profession on his childhood dreams.
Dr. Burnett enjoys the rural lifestyle Oregon has offered with room for his horses, cattle, dogs and cats on the property he and his wife, Julie reside at in Camas Valley. He enjoys camping, hunting and fishing when he is not working on his home and property.
