Faculty Position in Small Animal Emergency/Critical Care Medicine

The Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences at The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine announces an outstanding opportunity for a full-time Clinical or Tenure Track faculty positions in small animal emergency and critical care medicine. Applicants must have a DVM or equivalent degree. Preference will be given to candidates that are board certified by the American College of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care or will be eligible to take the ACVECC certifying examination in 2022. It is expected that the candidate will demonstrate a commitment to excellence in patient management; service to clients and referring veterinarians; and teaching/mentoring of professional and graduate students.

Clinical-track candidates will be assigned up to 70% time in clinics, including clinical teaching of students and advanced training of interns and residents. Sponsored research is not required for clinical track faculty, yet clinical research, publications or other scholarly activities to advance clinical veterinary medicine are encouraged. Tenure-track faculty will be given at least 50% off-clinic time to meet expectations for developing an extramurally funded research program that includes collaboration with other scientists, advising of graduate student research, and publication in peer-reviewed journals.

The appointee will join a program currently supported by four faculty ACVECC-boarded criticalists, five residents and two emergency doctors in the Small Animal ECC Service, as well as two ACVECC-boarded equine faculty members. The Department supports a faculty of over 75 clinical specialists, educators, and investigators along with extensive training programs for professional students, interns, residents, and graduate students. The College of Veterinary Medicine (www.vet.osu.edu) is ranked 4th among North American colleges of veterinary medicine by US News and World Report. Columbus supports a vibrant, multifaceted community (www.experiencecolumbus.com).

The candidates will work in a comprehensive academic veterinary medical center with state-of-the-art facilities and equipment including digital radiography, ultrasonography, computed tomography, 3 Tesla MRI, 128 Slice CT, Interventional Radiology/Medicine suite, mechanical ventilation, hemodialysis, non-invasive cardiac output monitoring and dark field microcirculatory imaging. Primary responsibilities include year-round clinical teaching of professional students, interns, and residents and patient care activities related to all aspects of small animal ECC medicine. Teaching responsibilities will also include participation in didactic lectures and laboratories. The successful candidates will share supervision of a full service, 24-hour, 40-cage intensive care unit, as well as a busy 24/7 emergency receiving service and verified trauma center (which sees approximately 10000-11000 cases/year). The ICU is staffed with registered veterinary technicians (several with VTS ECC certification) with a mission for excellence in patient care. The ICU is currently managed in an open style with all specialty services providing primary patient care of the patients in the unit.

It is anticipated the appointee will interact closely with the faculty and programs in all small animal clinical disciplines and the large animal ECC program. Faculty members are also expected to be involved in professional and community outreach, continuing education, committee service, and curriculum development.

Collegiality, civility, mutual support, and respect for others are strongly held values in the College of Veterinary Medicine. We support diverse beliefs and the free exchange of ideas and expect that faculty, staff, and students promote these values and apply them in a professional manner in all academic endeavors.
