About This Role
Applicants must hold a DVM or equivalent degree, be ACVECC or ECVECC board certified, or be eligible to take the certifying examination. The successful candidate will have autonomy over the critical care service and will work in conjunction with the Emergency/Urgent Care/ICU Service that includes 6 faculty members and 24 service-dedicated staff members (at least 9 credentialed veterinary technicians), as well as small animal rotating interns. The intensive care unit is approximately 1600 square feet and can accommodate 24 to 28 patients, with plans for an expansion to include a step-down unit to house less critical patients.

Collaborative research opportunities are readily available through the department, hospital, and broader college community. Directed clinical service will include delivery of critical care services to small animal patients in the Veterinary Health Center. Teaching responsibilities include instruction of veterinary students and interns in clinical rounds and didactic lectures.
We are motivated to provide an unprecedented faculty package for an individual who has a passion for teaching and professional mentorship and a desire to collaborate across departments and specialties in our continued pursuit to provide high-quality, patient-centered care. We are willing to provide flexibility for candidates to meet their career goals. The start-up, consultation and benefits package will be very competitive. Salary will be commensurate with the applicant's experience and qualifications.
