Position Description
Contributes to the university's mission through teaching, research and service, some variation by academic unit.

Major/Essential Functions

Contribute to the TTU SVMs instruction, scholarship, and service activities. The distribution of effort toward each activity will be individualized for each faculty member and outlined in the letter of appointment.
- It is expected that tenure-track faculty members will establish extramural support of their scholarship and this will include support for graduate students and opportunities for involvement of professional students. This expectation is proportional to percentage of effort assigned to scholarship in the letter of appointment.
Contribute to activities necessary for accreditation from the American Veterinary Medical Association Council on Education, other regulatory or accreditation approvals, and admit and deliver the curriculum to the students of the professional degree program.
For tenure-track appointments, participation in the Schools research enterprise and PhD program.
Curricular development and related activities. Most curricular development will focus on the Clinical and Professional Skills laboratories, the equine medicine and surgery courses, and the clinical rotations related to equine medicine and surgery.
- The curricular framework has been developed based on Competency Based Veterinary Education (CBVE; see www.AAVMC.org), and is designed to be vertically and horizontally integrated.
- Curricular development will require considerable teamwork to effectively develop course syllabi, assist with curricular mapping, and develop content relative to this integration and related outcomes.
- Delivery of the curriculum is within the professional program. This might include serving as instructor of record for various courses, contributing lectures to other courses, or participating in laboratories.
Participation in instructional development and delivery of Clinical Skills Laboratories and Clinical Presentations courses.
Clinical service, for the purpose of veterinary student clinical instruction, may be provided through specific private practice sites during clinical year student rotations. The TTU SVM does not have a teaching hospital and, thus, clinical service may include:
- Developing the rotation in anticipation of instructing students in their clinical year such as expanding the clinical caseload;
- Supporting a practice with advanced diagnostics, therapeutics, and surgical support; and
- Advancing the education of veterinary practitioners, supervision, and instruction of clinical year students in core and/or elective clinical year rotations.
Participation on various School committees.
The successful applicant will be one of nine equine specialists (surgery, internal medicine, theriogenology, general veterinary practice). Opportunities exist for the successful candidate to undertake further advanced training towards board certification with the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners (ABVP).
Additional comments:
- The curriculum is focused toward general veterinary practice in rural and regional communities. A central function of subject-matter experts is to provide instruction that prepares graduates to competently and confidently practice veterinary medicine at a distance from referral hospitals.
- Those with experience in rural and regional community practices will provide important feedback that will inform the admission process, instruction, and continuing education.
