The new Harvey S. Peeler Jr. College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) at Clemson University is seeking applicants for a full-time faculty position to lead the development and implementation of the DVM Year Four Clinical Training curriculum. The primary responsibilities of this position are focused on teaching and service with substantial opportunities for research and scholarship if desired. Academic rank would be commensurate with experience.
The Year Four Clinical Training Lead will play a vital role in developing and delivering the curriculum for the next generation of veterinarians for the state of SC. The Year Four Clinical Training unit will be taught in the partially distributive clinical year of the program and is designed to provide Clemson DVM students with the practical knowledge and skills necessary to be a competent and confident veterinarian using a clerkship–based program of clinical training. Working collaboratively, the individual in this position will be responsible for guiding faculty and staff in the creation, integration, organization, implementation, and evaluation of courses in the Year Four Clinical Training unit. This faculty member will work closely with the other unit leads, whose roles are to ensure that students achieve proficiency in all necessary competencies before progressing to the partially distributive clinical year of the curriculum. This individual will not only work with students and faculty but also with the preceptors at our clinical partner practices around the state.

Overview of Clemson and the CVM
Located in South Carolina’s beautiful and fast-growing upstate, Clemson University is the land-grant university of South Carolina and ranks among the country’s top 50 national public universities in the U.S. News & World Report. The University has nearly 23,400 students (including nearly 18,600 undergraduates) who can select from 80 undergraduate and 110 graduate degree programs. Clemson employs over 1,150 full-time faculty and has an annual budget expenditure of over $900 million. Clemson University maintains its status as an R1 research university while maintaining a strong focus on undergraduate education.
The CVM is currently seeking accreditation by the American Veterinary Medicine Association to offer the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree to approximately 80 students per cohort starting in 2026 (pending approval). The CVM plans to utilize a partial distributive model of education for students’ fourth year clinical experience. Its brand-new state of the art main campus will reside in Pendleton, SC, near the T. Ed Garrison Arena, will house research and teaching labs, and utilize both ambulatory services as well as teaching sites at the Clemson University Equine Center, Lamaster Dairy Cattle Center, and other locations for education in the field.
In 2023, the Board of Trustees approved Clemson Elevate, the university’s new strategic plan. Clemson Elevate is built on 3 pillars: deliver the #1 student experience, double research by 2035, and transform lives statewide and beyond. The College of Veterinary Medicine was named in Clemson Elevate as a strategic priority for the university, demonstrating the importance of the new college to the future of the university and the state. It’s never been a better time to come to South Carolina for veterinary medical education, and we’re excited to attract a team of top talent as we build the new college.
