Join #TeamVERO and help educate Aggie DVM students in the Panhandle!
For over a century, the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences (VMBS) has been training veterinary students and have extended our clinical training program to the Panhandle and High Plains. The VMBS is uniquely poised to deliver its top-tier veterinary education program within one of the world’s most productive animal agricultural regions and in support of rural communities.
Developed as part of Texas A&M University’s land grant commitment to animals and agriculture, VERO represents a dynamic partnership between the VMBS and West Texas A&M University (WT).
We’re a team of motivated, engaging, and collaborative veterinary educators who wish to contribute to the innovative, experiential education of highly motivated veterinary students. We’re looking for outstanding faculty members to work collaboratively with us to deliver veterinary training to fourth-year veterinary students.
VERO is situated in Canyon, Texas, the gateway to one of the most popular tourist attractions in the state — Palo Duro Canyon State Park, an outdoor enthusiast’s dream. With a population of less than 16,000, Canyon offers great schools, affordable and diverse housing options, access to West Texas A&M University, and the neighboring city of Amarillo (population 202,028) with all of its cultural and educational amenities. In 2016, Canyon, Texas, was ranked 9th in a list of 10 best small towns.
Successful candidates will have academic homes in the appropriate department within the VMBS and will work collaboratively with VERO faculty members and faculty members located on the College Station campus. They have the opportunity to support VMBS department-specific activities, such as clinical service in the fourth year of the program at VERO, graduate instruction, research, and/or outreach.
Applicants must have the appropriate degree related to their area of instruction. Sometimes, this terminal degree will be a PhD or DVM degree (or equivalent). For some positions, board certification in a recognized specialty college, including the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners, is encouraged. More information may be found within each position description.
Opportunities for students to engage with faculty, practice serial application of clinical skills, focus on the relevance of science content, and develop strong problem-solving and decision-making skills are cornerstones of the Texas A&M DVM program.
Individuals interested in small-group teaching and active learning will excel in this environment and are encouraged to apply.
