Position Summary

Love veterinary medicine—but not the 10-hour clinical days or back-to-back appointment pressure? Transfer your clinical knowledge and surgical expertise into education! Pima Medical Institute is seeking a passionate Veterinary Technology Educator / DVM to join our San Marcos campus faculty team.

In this rewarding full-time role, you will split your time between engaging didactic classroom instruction and hands-on surgical teaching (spay, neuter, dental, and soft tissue procedures).

Regulatory Compliance: Maintain surgical logs, medical records, and teaching documentation in accordance with California veterinary state board standards and AVMA CVTEA requirements.

Didactic Instruction & Student Mentorship:

Classroom Delivery: Plan, prepare, and deliver engaging lectures and practical demonstrations using an established curriculum.
Academic Evaluation: Evaluate student skill competencies, grade assignments promptly, and maintain accurate course records in CampusNexus.
Retention & Coaching: Monitor student attendance, track academic performance, implement retention strategies to maintain an 80%+ student success rate, and mentor future professionals.

Administrative & Campus Engagement:

Recordkeeping: Monitor daily attendance and maintain required documentation for student files.
Program Enrichment: Coordinate guest speakers, community service outings, and visits to regional veterinary hospitals; assist with supply and equipment inventory as needed.

Minimum Requirements

Education: Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM or VMD) degree from an AVMA-accredited institution.
Licensure: Active, unencumbered license to practice veterinary medicine in the State of California (VMB).
Clinical Experience: Minimum of three (3) years of practical occupational experience as a DVM, including hands-on surgical experience.
Technical Skills: Excellent verbal and written communication skills; proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and general computer applications.
No prior teaching experience required—we provide complete training through our PMI Methods Program!

Compensation & Employee-Owner Benefits

Hiring Range: $47.45 to $59.32 per hour.
Schedule: Full-Time (Monday – Friday; predictable day shifts with no weekends or emergency calls).
Employee Ownership: Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)—earn equity in the company as an employee-owner.
Retirement: 401(k) Plan with up to a 10% Employer Match.
Healthcare Options: Comprehensive Medical (PPO & 2 HDHP options with HSA), Dental, and Vision coverage.
