Oocyte aspiration and the in vitro production of embryos: dollars and sense?

This evening lecture will touch on the nuts and bolts of building oocyte aspiration into practice, costs compared to embryo transfer, and rates of success of in-vitro embryo production and pregnancy.  

Dr Lisa Metcalf is the owner of Honahlee, PC, a clinical equine reproductive practice that she built and ran for 30 years until 2018, and since 2011, an equine IVF practice located in a human OB GYN Fertility department of Oregon Health Science and University in Portland Oregon. She received her DVM degree from The Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine and her MS in Endocrinology from UC Davis. Dr Metcalf is board-certified in theriogenology.

Both a researcher and a clinician, spanning both academic and clinical appointments, she has authored and published more than 35 peer-reviewed journal articles and more than 10 text book chapters on many areas of interest in equine reproduction.
