This position offers a unique opportunity for veterinarians who have completed residency training (eg. ACVS, ECVS, ACVIM, ECEIM, ACVECC, or ECVECC) to improve their clinical skills and complete certification. If desired by the candidate and a suitable mentor is identified, the position could provide an opportunity for an additional post-graduate training such as a graduate degree or other certification.

Vaughan Large Animal Teaching Hospital. The percentage of clinical duty will be 50-75% depending on whether-or-not the candidate wishes to pursue post-graduate research or certification training. Depending on the candidate’s qualifications and interests, some daytime clinical service or ambulatory coverage may also be included in the clinical duties. Clinical responsibilities will include independent, emergency primary care and emergency surgery (if qualified) within the equine section of the J.T. Vaughan Large Animal Teaching Hospital. Teaching responsibilities include the clinical and didactic instructional activities of professional students in veterinary medicine and training of interns and residents.
