Successful residents will be eligible to sit for ABVP-Beef Cattle Boards upon completion of residency. The caseload is primarily beef cattle.

This is the first year this position will be offered. The successful candidate will divide their time between clinical practice, obtaining an MS or PhD in One Health Sciences, and developing andragogical knowledge through advanced training and interactions with students both in the classroom and in the clinical skills laboratories. Additionally, opportunities will exist to gain experience in the realm of communication and continuing education sectors of academic medicine.
