Interested individuals may contribute to ongoing development of house officer and graduate student competency-based training programs and trainee assessments.

Research:
This faculty member will establish an impactful and nationally recognized research program dedicated to advancing Large Animal Clinical Skills educational research. As veterinary curricula globally evolve to meet changing technological, societal, and agricultural needs, this position will drive evidence-based advancements in how veterinary students acquire, refine, and maintain large animal technical and clinical competencies. The faculty member will be expected to investigate current high-priority areas and address critical, unmapped gaps in knowledge within veterinary medical education.

The prospective areas of educational research supported by this position include, but are not limited to:

• Simulation-Based Learning & Physical Model Innovation:
  Developing, validating, and optimizing large animal (equine, bovine, and production animal) procedural models, simulators and assessments (i.e. OSCEs, mini- CEX , etc.). A primary research gap in this domain is the critical lack of longitudinal data assessing the long-term transferability of skills from synthetic simulators to live animal clinical scenarios to practice, as well as addressing the historical “small animal bias” in existing commercial simulation tools.
• Artificial Intelligence (AI) & Digital Workflow Integration:
  Exploring the integration of generative AI, multimodal large language models, and AI-standardized stakeholders within clinical training and communication workflows. Research will target how to teach students to utilize AI safely, ethically, and responsibly for diagnostic reasoning and uncertainty management, while addressing student adoption challenges, cognitive over reliance, and technological biases.
• Competency-Based Veterinary Education (CBVE) & Assessment:
  Designing, implementing, and…
