Residency position in Primate Medicine and Surgery Division of Primate Medicine, New England Primate Research Center (NEPRC) of Harvard Medical School (HMS) Southborough, MA Posted: 7 November 2007 The Division of Primate Medicine at the New England Primate Research Center (NEPRC) of Harvard Medical School (HMS) has an opening in its two-year primate medicine and surgery training program. The aims of this clinical training program are to provide highly motivated veterinarians with the specialized experience required for successful careers as primate clinicians. This program emphasizes training in colony management, diagnosis and treatment of disease, and implementation of experimental protocols utilizing NHP as models of human disease. Residents will have a unique opportunity to receive training in biosafety and biocontainment principles. The program will additionally provide opportunities for involvement in clinical research addressing the medical and husbandry needs of NHP maintained in research settings. To accomplish these goals, the program consists of didactic, case based, and experience driven learning. Opportunities for exposure to a wide range of laboratory animal species will be provided via collaboration with HMS. Upon completion of the program it is anticipated that the resident will be eligible American College of Laboratory Animal Medicine certification. The NEPRC has extensive experience with clinical training of veterinarians and has an outstanding animal care program. The clinical program is managed by a group of 5 veterinarians with over 40 years of combined experience in primate veterinary medicine. The NEPRC houses a diverse collection of nonhuman primates representing both New and Old world species. This vivarium includes breeding colonies of rhesus macaques, common marmosets and cotton topped tamarins. Clinical work is performed in a newly constructed veterinary clinic with state of the art surgical suites, advanced imaging modalities (ultrasonography, video endoscopy and laparoscopy, EchoMRI, and DEXA), a custom designed medical records database, and in-house pathology services. The NEPRC also implements a comprehensive NHP psychological well being plan under the direction of a renowned primatologist. The NEPRC has a vigorous research program that encompasses the research objectives directed at biodefense, drug addiction, transplantation biology, behavior, reproductive biology, neurodegenerative diseases, stem cell therapeutics and aging. While the Center maintains this diverse research portfolio, a continued strength has been its commitment to infectious disease research and emphasis on AIDS-related primate model based systems. The success of the infectious disease program has been dependent on specialized biocontainment facilities including a recently renovated animal biolevel three facility that has been utilized for cutting edge work in mycobacterial, SARS coronavirus, and measles virus research. The NEPRC is located in rural Southborough, MA, which is about 25 miles west of Boston and 10 miles east of Worcester, MA. Additional information about the center can be found at our website: http://www.hms.harvard.edu/neprc. Applicants must be citizens or permanent residents of the United States.
