Responsibilities will include teaching and clinical service in the Food Animal (FA) Clinic of the Veterinary Medical Hospital, training of residents and interns, and didactic lectures and laboratory instruction for veterinary students.  Clinical responsibilities will include primary to tertiary care within the Food Animal section of the Large Animal Hospital.  

Tired of being on call 24/7? We have a separate after-hours large animal emergency service. This service currently has three faculty clinicians, one ACVIM LAIM board-certified and one ACVECC residency trained, one ACVS LA residency trained with a fourth position waiting to be filled.

Applicants must have a DVM or equivalent veterinary degree, residency training in large animal internal medicine, large animal surgery, preventative medicine or food animal practice and certification by the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACVIM LAIM), American College of Veterinary Surgeons (ACVS), American College of Veterinary Preventive Medicine (ACVPM), or American Board of Veterinary Practitioners (ABVP).

At least 6 years of experience post residency training is desirable. Interest and clinical experience in routine food animal theriogenology is desirable. Opportunity to participate in the food animal ambulatory service is available to interested candidates. Candidates certified by comparable EBVS recognized Colleges are encouraged to apply.

The FA section is a well-equipped service and sees a robust food animal caseload which consists of beef cattle and small ruminants with smaller numbers of camelids, dairy cattle and swine. Approximately one half to two-thirds of the caseload consists of primary care cases drawn from a large geographic area with the balance consisting of referral cases.

This is a full-time career-track position with an excellent benefits package, 4 weeks of vacation, and an equipped office. You will have the opportunity to develop as a veterinary educator supported by an enthusiastic and fantastic group of educational professionals in our Office of Curriculum and Educational Support (https://vetmed.okstate.edu/about/oces.html).
