Additional contributions to didactic, field and 4th year rotation teaching, and course coordination will be required. 

UCVM employs a distributed veterinary teaching hospital and clinical duties and 4th year rotation teaching will occur in partner equine specialty practices and other practice settings. Mentoring of advanced trainees (such as interns) and graduate students is expected.  

Qualifications include a DVM (or equivalent) with immediate eligibility for licensure with the ABVMA and advanced clinical training and/or a graduate degree in clinical or educational research is considered and asset. Board certification is considered desirable but not required.

Appointments at the rank of Instructor requires evidence of successful undergraduate teaching abilities.  The duties of an Instructor will normally include, but not go beyond the scholarship required to maintain currency in pedagogy and content in the discipline.

UCVM’s DVM program provides a comprehensive general veterinary education to approximately 30-32 students per year (50 students per year as of September 2020). The program is an integrated core-elective program, with enhanced educational opportunities in defined areas that combine discipline-based courses with extensive on-campus and off-campus experiential learning. UCVM is a research-intensive faculty with expanding research, graduate education, and advanced clinical trainee programs.
