Article Synopsis
- - This pilot study aimed to determine if additional psychiatry training during the didactic year improves PA students' scores on key evaluations, specifically the PAEA Psychiatry and Behavioral Health End of Rotation exam and preceptor evaluations.

Importation of macrocyclic lactone resistant cyathostomins on a US thoroughbred farm.

Anthelmintic resistance in equine cyathostomins is both widespread and highly prevalent in the benzimidazole and tetrahydropyrimidine classes; however, reports of resistance to macrocyclic lactone (ML) drugs are sparse and sporadic. This study reports a case of clear ML resistance in a group of Thoroughbred yearlings imported from Ireland to the US in 2019. Fecal egg count reduction (FECR) following ivermectin administered in February 2020 demonstrated 100% reduction in the US bred yearlings, but 93.
