laboratory that offers a broad array of endocrinological tests to its diverse
clientele of clinical veterinarians. Diagnostic testing for equine metabolic
conditions (e.g., pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction [PPID], equine metabolic

Lab and AHDC teams and be primarily responsible for reviewing test results and
then finalizing them for automated reporting to clients. The Endo Lab Extension

recommendations for additional and/or future testing. As a member of the Endo Lab team, the Extension Associate

that are posted to the Endo Lab’s website (https://www.vet.cornell.edu/animal-health-diagnostic-center/laboratories/endocrinology). The newly hired Endo Lab Extension Associate will
