Abstract Veterinarians are in demand due to regulatory changes that require more veterinary oversight in food animal production. The USDA identifies thirteen counties in Arkansas as having food animal veterinarian deficiencies. In response to the report, the University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service collaborated with the Arkansas Veterinary Board to devise a strategy for alleviating the shortages. Upon permission by the veterinary board, Arkansas Extension developed a survey to assess the status and needs of Arkansas veterinarians. The questionnaire was included in the veterinarian license renewal packet, asking - How many doctors are in your practice? What species are you willing to treat? Do any of your doctors do farm calls? For which counties do you provide farm calls? Are you aware of changes to the FDA Veterinary Feed Directive? Would you be interested in learning honey bee medicine? Would you be interested in joining the Arkansas Animal Emergency Response Team? Would you be willing to be a mentor for the 4-H Vet Science Program? Would you like your email included on notifications from the Arkansas VMA? Are there any continuing education (CE) topics that you feel need attention? Of the 965 actively licensed Arkansas veterinarians, 537 returned their responses to the survey. Data was entered into an Excel spreadsheet and shared with the Arkansas Veterinary Board, the Arkansas VMA, and the Arkansas State Veterinarian Office. Using the data, Extension created a comprehensive food animal veterinarian directory that was distributed at various producer meetings and made available electronically on the Extension website. CE suggestions were used to develop the Food Animal Medicine Workshop Series, which was awarded funding by the USDA NIFA Veterinary Services Grant Program. The goal of the CE series is to re-train existing mixed animal veterinarians to improve food animal veterinary coverage for Arkansas producers

Abstract Objectives The purpose of this course project was the development and ultimate dissemination of original, evidence-based nutrition information in collaboration with nutrition educators within the University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service using an experiential learning model. Methods An experiential learning course was designed to tailor student-learning outcomes with a goal of creating novel nutrition infographics to address topics of student interest and consumer inquiry. Faculty within Family and Consumer Sciences Extension were consulted to obtain guidelines, information and needs to facilitate the design of infographics that would best identify with Kentuckians across the commonwealth. Infographic topics were chosen based on their need for clarity among the Extension audience as well as popularity on social media channels. Each infographic went through rounds of revisions by the faculty supervisor and Extension faculty, with the final copy to be disseminated through University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Offices. Results Eight original infographics were developed through the completion of this experiential learning course. Five infographics focused on clarifying popular, yet controversial nutrition topics such as “Keto 101: Basics of the Keto Diet” and “Intermittent Fasting: What's the Fast About?”. The remaining three infographics described health impacts of micronutrients, antioxidants and culinary guidelines for popular cooking oils. Infographics are available to agents for distribution through scheduled workshops, the Internet, social media channels, etc. Conclusions An experiential learning course is an effective model for students to pursue their interests while creating evidence-based, usable nutrition information and resources for a larger audience. The infographics generated will reach rural families through the University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service to educate and clarify popular, controversial topics in nutrition. As consumers’ sources of news and information is varied, it will be important that nutrition education evolve in order for credible nutrition information to be “shared”. Funding Sources This course was created through a collaboration between the Department of Pharmacology and Nutritional Sciences and the James W. Stuckert Career Center at the University of Kentucky.
