Board certification or board eligibility in the American College of Veterinary Clinical Pharmacology is a preferred qualification.  Demonstrated abilities in preparation and presentation of materials for continuing education for veterinary practitioners are required.  Preference will be given to candidates with experience in one or more of the following:  food animal practice, systematic literature reviews, information database management, and research in the area of food animal clinical pharmacology.
