About The Position

The Clinician for the College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) is a member of Counseling and Prevention Services (CAPS) and provides embedded services to the CVM community. This is a 12-month position with one month off during the summer, coordinated with the other embedded clinician. The schedule is flexible during the academic years (AY) 2026-2027 and 2027-2028, during which the clinician may work part-time or full-time. Beginning in Fall 2028, the position is anticipated to become a full-time, 40-hours/week, over an 11-month schedule. Depending on initial hours and clinical demand, the clinician may split their time between the CAPS main office and CVM, with a transition to fully embedded (100%) at CVM by AY 2028. While assigned to the CVM, the Embedded Clinician works closely with the Wellness Program Lead for the CVM to develop and deliver wellness programming that supports CVM students, fosters a culture of wellness within the academic environment, and provides direct clinical services. While working in the CAPS main office, the clinician functions as a generalist CAPS therapist and provides services to the broader student population. Responsibilities include individual therapy, crisis walk-in intervention, and triage consultations.
