Clinical responsibilities will include primary management of nutrition cases, instruction of veterinary students and technicians, and mentorship of interns and residents. Classroom and laboratory teaching responsibilities will include the education of professional students in our integrated curriculum and opportunities to interface with graduate students across multiple disciplines. Active supervision of house officers and in-depth participation in intern/resident training (including topic rounds, journal club, and backup support) is expected.
