In this episode, we welcome back to the podcast Dr. Mike Pesato. This time, Dr. Pesato shares his experience as the AASRP faculty liaison for the students at Mississippi State University. You'll also gain his and Lesley's insights into the Emerging Leader program--an excellent opportunity for young small ruminant and camelid practitioners to become involved in the organization. We hope this episode motivates other students who are passionate about small ruminants to take an active role in their education, just as the students at Mississippi State have done.  From labs focusing on animal handling to practicing transabdominal ultrasound for pregnancy diagnosis, the AASRP student representatives at Mississippi State are making tremendous efforts to add hands-on experiences to their curriculum. Thanks for listening! And, as always, if you have any questions about this episode, the Emerging Leader Program, or other opportunities to get involved in AASRP, feel free to contact us: AASRP website: aasrp.orgAnn DiPastina, DVMann.dipastina@gmail.comLesley Moser, DVMtrmvetc@gmail.com
