The successful candidate is expected to have history of or potential as an exemplary clinician and educator. The successful candidate must also possess demonstrated excellence in clinical service and teaching, consistent with their primary and driving career interests and goals. Members of faculty in the AC track in Internal Medicine are primarily devoted to clinical service; Eighty percent (80%) of the candidate’s time will be in the Matthew J. Ryan Veterinary Hospital. Time outside of clinical service is used for professional development, citizenship to the Department, and didactic teaching. Developing or maintaining an independent scholarship or research program is not a focus of the AC track and is not a requirement for reappointment or promotion, although AC faculty may contribute to or participate in collaborative research projects within and outside of the School of Veterinary Medicine if desired.







The position includes clinical service and teaching in a busy university teaching hospital. Clinical service responsibilities include provision of patient care and supervision of day-to-day operations of the Internal Medicine service. Teaching responsibilities include small group and didactic instruction of veterinary students rotating through the service and mentoring of internal medicine residents. In addition, clinical faculty participate in classroom/laboratory teaching. The proximity of the Veterinary School to the Medical School fosters numerous collaborative clinical endeavors. The Department offers junior rank faculty mentoring through a specifically appointed mentoring committee.















The Section of Medicine employs eight (7 ACVIM-Small Animal Internal Medicine, 1 ECVIM-Small Animal Internal Medicine) board-certified internists in support of the program. There are currently 12 residents enrolled in the residency-training program. More than 30 Diplomates of various American and European certifying Colleges directly support the Internal Medicine program.







Faculty AC positions are long-term, non-tenured Associated Faculty positions with reappointment every three years. Promotion along the ladder of the University Academic ranks is available.







Salary will be commensurate with experience. Full University benefits including vacation time, health, dental, vision, retirement, and eligible tuition reimbursement for self, spouse, and or dependents accompany the position.







The anticipated start date, although negotiable, is July 2026.







The hospital is a dynamic and intellectually stimulating environment with an excellent nursing staff and residents. The School is located amid a vibrant urban neighborhood that offers an abundance of cultural resources including music, art, theatres, and fine dining (www.upenn.edu/life-at-penn/philadelphia). The University of Pennsylvania is a qualifying employer for the federal Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Program.



Candidates must have a veterinary degree, and either be a Diplomate of the American or European College of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Specialty of Small Animal Internal Medicine, or have successfully completed an internal medicine residency program at an accredited University. Board-certification would need to be achieved within 24 months of employment.
