Acorn Farmvets, NJ

Description of Elective Experience: 

Students (usually no more than 1 at a time so sufficient time can be spent) will follow myself or Dr Ehrlich on daily farm calls including work with embryo transfer in cattle. Practice is high majority food animal based but some farm livestock guard dogs are seen. Students will be part of the 'team' on all these calls and both participate and observe typical daily procedures. 

Institutional and Educational Resources - staffing, equipment, etc.: 

Ambulatory practice with equipment for bovine/LA repro and general medicine - ultrasound, blood chemistry analyzer, ET lab/freezing/micromanipulation equipment

Student Responsibilities - what is expected of students in terms of hours, days of the week, shadowing or actual support?: 

Expect them to be available for daily calls, sometimes at different locations through the state, participate in case discussions between farms, and offer ability to have experience at some/most of the techniques involved, depending on students ability and desire.
