Colorado Jobs - Education and Training

The College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences (CVMBS) at Colorado State University (CSU) is seeking a Medical Director (MD) of Companion Animal Primary Care Services. This position will be responsible for operations within the Primary Care Clinic (PCC), which is slated for completion in spring 2026, with full operational capacity starting summer 2028. The PCC is planned as a purpose built, state-of-the-art, regional companion animal primary care center designed to train veterinary students and provide a wide spectrum of veterinary care.

The PCC resides within the James L. Voss Veterinary Teaching Hospital (VTH). The PCC and Animal Specialty Hospital (ASH) are major pillars of the CSU Veterinary Health System (VHS) which includes medical, clinical, diagnostic, continuing education, and other health service operations within the CVMBS. The construction of the PCC is part of the larger ~350,000 sq ft addition/renovation to the CSU south campus called the Veterinary Health and Education Complex (VHEC) project. The VHEC will include the Livestock Veterinary Services Annex (LVS), Veterinary Education Complex (VEC), and PCC, and newly renovated ASH. These four areas will join the current suite of buildings on the CSU South Campus that include the Johnson Family Equine Hospital (JFEH), Diagnostic Medical Center (DMC), and Translational Medicine Institute (TMI). This juxtaposition of educational, research, and service facilities provides a unique opportunity to advance veterinary and allied professions. A result of this expansion will be inclusion of the first- and second-year DVM students in the VHEC starting in 2026, a move from the longstanding main university campus location. With this greater community presence, the master plan for the VHEC includes the development of indoor and outdoor spaces that intentionally support a sense of engagement and wellbeing.

The PCC will be the lynchpin of the progressive new DVM curriculum that is scheduled to launch in fall of 2026. The PCC will house third- and fourth-year students as they focus their education on delivery of primary veterinary services for companion animals, including dogs, cats, and other small mammals. The PCC team will include 8 faculty members and 13 veterinary technicians, plus paraprofessional support staff. The ~12,000 ft2 facility consists of three large treatment areas, dental and surgical suites, 14 examination rooms, and round rooms and work areas for doctors, veterinary technicians, and students.

The MD of Companion Animal Primary Care Services will lead and actively contribute to this exciting next phase of growth, with the opportunity to implement the vision and promote the premier reputation of the CSU-CVMBS as a top-tier establishment. The MD will develop relationships with external entities with the goal of better serving underserved individuals within the Northern Colorado community and broadening clinical service and experiential learning opportunities for DVM students. We are seeking a dynamic, innovative, service-oriented individual with excellent leadership skills to fill this role.
