Contributions in the small animal clinical skills program are expected where appropriate, as well as committee work, student mentoring, and community involvement. Preference is afforded veterinarians with residency training and diplomate status with the ACVIM in small animal medicine, and demonstrable experience as a clinical educator.

Our faculty members spend most of their time teaching, mentoring, and advising students. Relationships with the Department of Agriculture, Cayman Islands Veterinary Medical Association, local small animal clinics, and the Humane Society provide opportunities for collaboration, consultation, and outreach. Opportunities for research, scholarly pursuit, and professional development are encouraged but not expected. We are looking for a clinical educator who is passionate about teaching. We offer small class sizes where you will know your students by name, a small faculty and collegial atmosphere, and a vibrant community with excellent schools.
