Riser was a courtesy professor at the UF College of Veterinary Medicine in the department of comparative and experimental pathology, subsequently the department of pathobiology (now known as the department of pathology and infectious diseases). Riser volunteered his time at UF following his retirement from the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Veterinary medicine, where he had been a professor of pathology. The Wayne H. Riser Laboratory for Bone and Joint Pathology Fund was created in 1985 as the result of a donation from the Riser family and has assisted many students over the years.
Riser founded and was the first program director of the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals. In addition to being a professor of pathology at Penn, Riser is credited with introducing sterile surgery techniques as a regular practice in veterinary medicine. He was a charter member and past president of the American College of Veterinary Pathology.
