However, applicants who have successfully completed an ACVAA or ECVAA Anesthesia residency or that are currently in training are also encouraged to apply. Evidence of outstanding interpersonal skills and teamwork mentality, and the potential to develop collaborative research is highly desirable.

About the Department
Team & Service:
We are currently a vibrant team of 5 DACVAAs, 4 residents, and 13 certified technicians, 4 of which are VTS-Anesthesia. We provide anesthetic and perioperative care to a robust caseload (over 4,000 cases annually), which brings a plethora of professional opportunities for career advancement through participation in and development of novel procedures and techniques. We also work closely with the local zoos, the University of Minnesota Raptor Center, the University of Minnesota Research Animal Resources, the Anesthesiology Department at the Medical School and other organizations such as the local biomedical industry. Our team works collaboratively with all other specialties in the Veterinary Medical Center to deliver sedation, pain management and anesthetic care to patients, as well as consultation on sedation, anesthesia and analgesia for both our in-house colleagues and referring veterinarians. The hospital is well equipped with multiparameter monitors, anesthesia workstations complete with spirometry and ventilation modes allowing for tailored ventilation strategies, taphonius for large animal anesthesia, and ultrasound machines dedicated to regional anesthesia techniques.
Teaching is one of the team's main focus areas and it includes classroom and laboratory teaching to 2nd and 3rd year veterinary students, and clinical teaching to 4th year students and other house officers. Our curriculum aligns with the entrustable professional activities defined by the Competency Based Veterinary Education initiative from the AAVMC. Our didactic teaching is a mix of classical format lectures and active learning activities meant to enable our students to develop skills such as integration, communication, collaboration, clinical reasoning, and problem solving. We also have a strong residency training program that is focused on didactic and clinical training that maintains our tradition of excellence (total of 24 resident graduates, a majority of them also with MS or PhD, and most passing ACVAA boards exam on first attempt) while still providing desirable work-life balance for residents and mentors.
Research is an area full of opportunities and collaborative research is an important aspect of this position. For those with strong research interests, there are grant writing workshops, support in handling the press, and feedback on internal grants. For clinical research, there is a Clinical Investigation Center that performs clinical trials as designed by an investigator including those that require Good Clinical Practice designation. There are many collaboration opportunities with the colleges of Medicine, Public Health, Dentistry, Nursing, and Pharmacy. Our Anesthesia and Pain Medicine research program is currently funded by multiple grants from internal sources, foundations (AKC, Morris Animal Foundation) and the National Institutes of Health (NINDS, NIDA). Our research team is additionally composed of 1 PhD student and 2 postdoctoral associates. We strive to be innovative and impactful leaders in clinical service, research and education, which are the three pillars of the College of Veterinary Medicine.
