Are you—or someone you know—passionate about both teaching and practicing small animal primary care? We’re seeking dedicated veterinarians to join our team at the Spectrum of Care Clinic at The Ohio State University. This is a unique opportunity to engage in hands‑on clinical teaching while providing high‑quality care to patients.

In the clinic, students learn multiple approaches to patient management, a wide range of diagnostic techniques, treatments, and clinical procedures. Students are also taught communication skills, practice management, and business. The clinic is separate from, but adjacent to, our newly remodeled tertiary care veterinary medical center. It is a stand‑alone state‑of‑the‑art private practice setting to produce outstanding veterinarians. Multiple technologies are available, including surgery, dentistry, in‑house lab work, and imaging.

Fourth‑year veterinary students and the Spectrum of Care team provide exceptional primary care and offer a broad range of services to our patients and clients. In addition to final‑year students, pre‑clinical students attend shifts and practice their clinical and communication skills with coaching oversight. Successful candidates will coach students from all years to help them fully develop confidence and competence before entering practice.

Approximately 70% of Ohio State’s College of Veterinary Medicine graduates enter general private practice, becoming the next generation of leaders in our community and profession.

The affordability of veterinary care can be a challenge for many clients. The Frank Stanton Veterinary Spectrum of Care Clinic meets this challenge by training veterinary students to provide evidence‑based care that considers client expectations and financial limitations, thereby preparing students to successfully serve an economically diverse clientele and to embrace their role in providing this care.
