Description
The Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine, Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences, invites applications for a full-time (12-month) Clinical or Tenure-Track position in Cardiology at the Assistant or Associate Professor level. The successful candidate will join an established clinical service, which includes one tenured faculty, one tenure-track faculty, three nurses, and four cardiology residents.
Our comparative cardiovascular medicine and interventional cardiology service is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including digital ECG, GE Vivid E95 echocardiography with a digital database and three review stations, portable GE Vivid iq, pediatric and adult 4D TEE probes, and Medtronic and St. Jude/Abbott pacemaker programmers. We also offer hemostatic assays, including thromboelastography and platelet aggregometry.
The service operates a dedicated 650 ft² stand-alone interventional catheterization lab with advanced technology, such as an invasive hemodynamic recording system, cardiac output computers, and a Philips Zenition 70 Pulsera digital flat panel detector C-arm. Recently, we upgraded to a state-of-the-art cardiac EP lab featuring the Abbott EnSite System, which includes a next-generation 3D mapping platform and in-person support from mappers and collaborating MDs in Indianapolis.
We handle a high volume of interventional cases, approximately 70-100 annually. Our strong relationships with local referring veterinarians, breeders and rescue groups lead to a significant caseload focused on screening, diagnosing, and managing animals with congenital cardiac defects.
