The current caseload in the Large Animal Hospital is approximately 90% equine with the remainder a mix of bovine, small ruminant, pet porcine, and camelids. The successful candidate will have demonstrated strong communication and collaboration skills and will use these skills to develop networks across broad communities of experts, effectively collaborating with faculty from multiple disciplines.
