Practice strengths and emphasis of the business:

The Residency Program in Livestock Reproduction and Herd Health is a three-year residency and offers the Master's of Preventive Veterinary Medicine (MPVM) degree during the second year. The residency is designed to develop expertise in reproduction, herd health, epidemiology, and quantitative methods, as well as to provide the opportunity to participate in research and scientific writing. Expertise in herd production medicine, routine reproductive techniques, and advanced techniques will be developed. Caseloads include predominantly dairy cattle, beef cattle, sheep, goats, and production pigs. The resident will utilize computerized herd health record systems. Residents participate with the instruction of veterinary students in clinics and the didactic curriculum. Residents will rotate through in-house Livestock Medicine & Surgery and will share emergency duty on a rotating basis. Participation in Veterinary Intern and Resident Seminar Day is mandatory.
Upon successful completion of the program, the resident will be awarded a Residency Certificate and, as appropriate, the MPVM degree. Training will prepare the individual for a successful career in an advanced food animal practice, regulatory veterinary medicine, research in industry, or academic teaching and research. The residency program makes the individual eligible for board certification in theriogenology or preventative veterinary medicine. Applicants must have a DVM or equivalent degree and one or more years of experience in practice or a large animal internship.
A valid California driver's license is required. The position will participate in the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) Pull Notice System. A copy of DMV record will be required as a final condition of employment.
SPECIAL NOTE: The California Veterinary Medical Board requires all veterinarians working at the University of California, Davis with primary patient care duties to hold a full California license or a University veterinary license. To obtain a University veterinary license, veterinarians who are not licensed in the state of California will be required to take a 3-day course on regionally important diseases and a short open-book jurisprudence test, in addition to being background checked. The course will be provided by live webinars at the University of California, Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, usually in April. The cost of obtaining the University veterinary license will be the responsibility of the trainee. The limited license only permits individuals to work in California as veterinarians for University-related practice.
This position is a critical position and subject to a background check. Employment is contingent upon successful completion of background investigation including criminal history and identity checks.
