JOB SUMMARY

Resident will have research training and experience sufficient to:

give laboratory animal medicine residents a working knowledge of how biomedical research operates and thereby “demystify” the research and publication process;

familiarize LAM residents with specific research projects and the research culture at WFSM;

provide research opportunities and mentorship for writing a first-author research paper, beginning as soon as possible in the training process to meet the publication requirement for the American College of Laboratory Animal Medicine; and

prepare the laboratory animal resident for future participation as a member of a research team.

PROGRAM DETAILS

The Laboratory Animal Medicine Residency Program is designed as a two-year period of professional service training (July 1 - June 30); longer periods may be negotiated by the faculty and the resident; annual reappointment is considered each year based on a review of the resident's performance.
A "Professional Service Mentor" is assigned to each resident upon arrival.
Upon satisfactory performance and mutual interest, eligible LAM residents may at the conclusion of one or more years of LAM residency, enter into the T32 research fellowship (Laboratory Animal and Comparative Medicine Training).
Trainees interested in eligibility for board certification by the American College of Laboratory Animal Medicine (ACLAM) must complete all ACLAM training requirements and maintain professional service skills during the period of training (the specific type and scheduling to be determined by trainee, research mentor and professional service mentor).
The T32 research fellowship allows up to 25% effort to be devoted to LAM training.

GOALS OF THE PROGRAM

The residency training program will provide to the resident:

The environment, caseload (experience), and training to enable the trainee to become a competent laboratory animal veterinarian; with the expectation that the trainee will be qualified to sit for the ACLAM Specialty Certification Examination.

An opportunity to become acquainted with and support research programs ongoing in the department, during the residency period.

A research mentor will be identified to facilitate the resident's success.

A research advisory committee will be formed consisting of three faculty members, who will review and approve the research plan and provide the ACLAM Residency Director with a required recommendation letter regarding the resident's credible and substantial involvement in the project, to verify ACLAM eligibility.

Residents will be "embedded" within a specific research home laboratory during the resident's first six-month rotation (typically at the Clarkson Campus) to allow active participation in research laboratory meetings, project planning, data analysis, and interpretation. During this time 25% of the resident's time will be spent on research.

Development of a specific single project within the home laboratory for rapid execution and publication.

The resident will present a research seminar at the conclusion of the project.

Prerequisite to enter into a T32 research training program at the end of a one-year LAM residency, based on the resident's performance and qualifications.

An opportunity to publish an original research article which demonstrates application of the scientific method in the biological sciences (or in the physical sciences or other scientific area if relevant to laboratory animal medicine). Further, the article must be published in a peer-reviewed journal and be fully accepted at the time of application to ACLAM.

EDUCATION/EXPERIENCE

Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from an AVMA-accredited institution or licensed in at least one state in the United States of America
Trainees must obtain a grade level of B or better in required courses.
