CARE FEATURE STORY
SPECIALTY SPOTLIGHT:
AMBULATORY AND PRODUCTION MEDICINE
It’s a muggy, hot, mid-July morning in Tompkins County, with forecasts threatening highs in the nineties. The ideal clothing for this type of weather is a swimsuit—but Dr. Jessica McArt ’07, assistant professor of Ambulatory and Production Medicine, and DVM students Gabrielle Woo ’17 and Anna Sarfaty ’17, are suited up in full-body canvas coveralls, heavy rubber boots, and plastic chaps—without complaint. This brand of stoicism in the face of discomfort seems to be a prevailing trait within the Ambulatory and Production Medicine Clinic. Whether wading through manure, dodging (and enduring) hard-hooved kicks, or chasing down reluctant patients, these clinicians have been providing expert care to clients for over one hundred years.
