Started in 1896 as the first university-associated ambulatory clinic in the United States, faculty in Ambulatory and Production Medicine engage in research, teaching, and provision of routine and emergency large-animal veterinary services to local farms.

Clinical expertise

The expertise of our faculty include cattle, horses, small ruminants, camelids, and swine as well as implementation of production medicine programs in local herds. Our clinicians provide routine and emergency veterinary service on farms within an approximate 25 mile radius of Cornell in Ithaca, New York.
