Students benefit from a diverse and talented faculty who integrate contemporary teaching tools and simulations with innovative technologies that encompass seven sequential semesters of preclinical and clinical courses at our St Kitts campus prior to one year of clinical training at one of our many globally placed affiliate veterinary teaching hospitals.
Our Research Program embraces the global concept of One Health, which is supported by intramural grant funding and encompasses animal, human, and environmental health and conservation. Moreover, our research program is supported by a strategy that includes four Research Centers providing opportunities for faculty and students to engage in collaborative research encompassing Zoonoses and Tropical Veterinary Medicine, Integrative Mammalian Research, Conservation Medicine and Ecosystem Health, and Veterinary and Medical Educational Research. In addition, our graduate program provides opportunities for faculty and students to receive advanced training in our MSc or PhD programs.

Major responsibilities include course administration, in-classroom lectures, and evaluation of student success associated with periodic examinations and guidance as needed.
In addition to a strong commitment to teaching, the successful applicant will be expected to develop and/or contribute to a collaborative Research Program and participate in the Graduate Program. Major outputs will include publications, grant funding, and supervision of veterinary student research assistants and/or graduate students.
Administrative and services duties are aligned with our annual performance goals and objectives. These may include participating as a member of various campus academic and/or operational committees, serving as advisor or mentor to one of many student clubs or organizations, or playing a role in community outreach.
