Job Title:
Veterinary Resident/House Officer
Department:
Veterinary Medicine | Veterinary Preventive Medicine
We are currently accepting applications for an ACZM compliant residency in Wildlife and Ecosystem Health. This is a unique cooperative program between The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine, the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium and The Wilds. This program will provide trainees with coursework, zoological medicine training and field experience emphasizing a One Health approach to the study of nondomestic animal health and leading to a Master’s degree at the completion of the residency, in addition to ACZM board exam eligibility. This program is uniquely designed to prepare conservation medicine clinicians to advance the field on a national and international scale through clinical service, research and education.
The proposed residency program is designed to provide trainees with experience in epidemiology, zoological medicine, semi-free ranging herd medicine, coursework and ecosystem-based field research. National and international opportunities for research and clinical experience will be available depending on the current partners and affiliations.
This is a three-year, three-phase program. The resident will spend the first year of the program in coursework in support of the resident’s chosen area of research at Ohio State, as well as in orientation at the Columbus Zoo, beginning to take on clinical work in cooperation with Zoo clinicians. During this year, the resident will propose and begin planning for masters’ research. The second year of the residency will be spent primarily focusing on zoological medicine at the Columbus Zoo. The third year of the residency will be spent primarily in residence in The Wilds, managing clinical medicine for the semi-free ranging collection utilizing a 10,000-acre local field site, and conducting research toward completion of the Master’s degree.
Additional Information:
To be eligible for the program, a candidate must possess a DVM or equivalent professional degree, be eligible to receive a license to practice veterinary medicine in the state of Ohio, and be eligible to work in the United States.

We believe that the university should be a place where people can work and learn together in a safe environment, free of violence, harassment, discrimination, exploitation, or intimidation. As such, finalists for any faculty position that carries tenure must sign an authorization and disclosure form, which will allow current or prior employer(s) to share information to the University regarding any findings of employment-related misconduct or disciplinary proceedings against a candidate and/or any pending investigations related to alleged misconduct. Such information shall include findings and pending investigations with respect to sexual harassment, violence, or harassment; research misconduct; financial fraud or misconduct; foreign influence violations, grant misuse or misconduct; and/or any other type of finding or pending investigation relating to a candidate’s employer’s policies and rules governing faculty conduct that may reasonably be expected to affect a candidate’s appointment. If the University becomes aware of any past finding of misconduct or pending investigations that were not disclosed, Ohio State will treat that as a serious omission and reserves the right to rescind an offer or terminate employment.
Final candidates are subject to successful completion of a background check. A drug screen or physical may be required during the post offer process.
