About The Position

This role is ideally suited for an innovative and collaborative internist who is excited by the opportunity to develop a high-quality, referral-based internal medicine service that reflects best practices and the evolving needs of the surrounding veterinary referral community. The initial emphasis of the position will be on service development, caseload growth, and relationship-building with regional referring veterinarians, as well as close collaboration with specialty and primary care services. As the service matures, the role will evolve into a clinical teaching position, incorporating didactic instruction, clinical mentorship, and active participation in the veterinary curriculum, with a strong emphasis on diagnostic excellence, longitudinal case management, and interdisciplinary care. Key Opportunities include developing and leading an internal medicine service within a brand-new, purpose-built teaching hospital, collaborating closely with hospital leadership and clinical services to design innovative workflows, diagnostic pathways, and service models, engaging with a supportive and expanding regional referral network to tailor services to community needs, supporting complex case management through close collaboration with surgery, anesthesia, diagnostic imaging, pathology, and primary care, gradually transitioning into clinical teaching and didactic responsibilities aligned with the School’s educational mission, and playing a key role in shaping the culture, standards, and long-term vision of a new veterinary medical program. The Shreiber School of Veterinary Medicine offers a rare opportunity to join a modern academic institution at a formative stage, where faculty have meaningful influence over clinical services, educational delivery, and hospital culture. This position provides the autonomy to innovate, the support of an established university, and the professional fulfillment of building an internal medicine service that will have lasting impact on patient care, education, and the veterinary profession.
