Oklahoma State University is seeking interested private practitioners, clinicians or third year medicine residents interested in performing a locum with our Food Animal Medicine and Surgery Afterhours/emergency service. We have flexible and frequent need for an after-hours locum.
Our daytime caseload typically involves 60% beef cattle (mainly lameness, bucking stock, and cow-calf), 30% small ruminant, and 10% swine and camelids. On emergency service, we commonly manage cases such as dystocia (in cattle, small ruminants, swine, and occasionally camelids), urolithiasis, bloat, fractures, septic neonates, and anemia or heavy
parasitism, among others. Our after-hours staffing is limited with workups frequently as a solo DVM with veterinary assistants and fourth-year students.
Locum responsibility also includes daily topic rounds with the scheduled LAECC fourth year students, available for possible patient care questions, responding to ICU student staffing needs, and emergency case work-ups including in-house and ambulatory calls within a 35-mile radius from the CVM. ER shifts begin at 4:30pm until 8am Monday-Friday and 8am Saturday until 8am Monday morning.
Accommodation/travel is built into the locum compensation. Faculty licensure in Oklahoma is required and rapid to complete. A valid US driver’s license is also required.
