The ACLAM-approved Duke University Laboratory Animal Medicine Training Program (DULAMTP) at Duke University, Durham, North Carolina, is accepting applications for a Laboratory Animal Medicine Resident position. The selected candidate could start as early as July 1, 2022.

Requirements: Candidates must have graduated from an AVMA-accredited veterinary school or certified by the Educational Commission for Foreign Veterinary Graduates or by the Program for the Assessment of Veterinary Education Equivalence. In addition, successful completion of the North American Veterinary Licensing Examination and veterinary medical licensure in at least one state is required.

The DULAMTP is a three-year program; however, residents with prior research experience may complete their training in two years, provided the individual has research experience and has a published paper that satisfies the ACLAM requirements. Duke University is an ideal institution for laboratory animal training. The animal care and use program includes more than 15 laboratory animal species with an extremely diverse array of research initiatives. The DULAMTP's components involve research (if applicable), hands-on clinical work, didactic learning, and opportunities to gain laboratory animal experience at neighboring institutions, including governmental and other academic institutions. Most of the clinical experience occurs during the first and third years, with an increased emphasis on the research experience in the second year, to ensure that the resulting publication has been accepted and the resident is board eligible by the time their residency has been completed. Select residents may enter into graduate school to pursue advanced research training with a resultant degree.

Interested applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, veterinary and graduate school transcripts (if applicable), and the name, email address, and telephone number of at least three professional references to Elizabeth Hawkey, DLAR Human Resources Manager at elizabeth.hawkey@duke.edu.

Duke University is an AA/EOE.
