Professional Interests

Animal Reproduction: Teaching  My current focus is teaching dog and cat reproduction to 3rd year veterinary students as a part of required Theriogenology course.  My clinical teaching to 4th yr veterinary students is a part of reproduction clinical service at Vet Teaching Hospital which includes breeding management, diagnoses and treatment of reproductive disorders.
Research:  My research interest involves the study of male reproduction.  I collaborate with Center for Reproductive Biology researchers investigating affects of environmental endocrine disruptors on sperm production. 

International Veterinary Education http://www.vetmed.wsu.edu/international/

International Veterinary Medicine (VM 501) The objective of the course is to increase knowledge and understanding of international issues in veterinary medicine, foreign culture, and socioeconomic systems.  This is an introductory team-taught one credit elective course taken primarily by 1st & 2nd year veterinary students.  Fifteen to 35 veterinary students/yr have taken the course since its inception in 1992. 

International Field Studies (VM 504)
This is a formal, structured externship program providing opportunities for students to obtain practical working experience in the areas of animal health and well-being, livestock production, public health, and trade within the cultural environment of another country.  Five to 15 student/yr have participated in the externships since its inception in 1993.
