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).

This is a full-time tenure-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).
