TEACHING
Veterinary Curriculum
Tutoring: Tutored in Foundation Course IV, Host Agent and Defense for 11 weeks in Fall of
1994, 1996, 1998, and 1999-2001, 2005, 2007, 2009. Per semester, this involves 74
hours (pre 2005) of contact time and after 2005 it involves 40 hours of contact time with
students. Throughout these periods was added approximately 1-2 hours of weekly tutor
meetings. Substitute tutoring in 2003, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013. This consists
of 2-5, 2.5 hour sessions per semester.
Curriculum Design Group: 1996-2012. The curriculum design group designs, revises all
aspects of Foundation Course IV: Host Agent and Defense and writes and grades the two
short answer midterms and essay-based 3-day examinations for approximately 80-90
veterinary students. The committee meets weekly for approximately 1.5 hours during the
course and weekly for 3 months when the course is not in session. This totals
approximately 30 hours per year. I have personally authored sections of the examinations
(1996-2010) and graded those sections and other sections, and authored (1996) and
proctored (1995, 1996) the final oral examination when that format was used.
Laboratories: Block IV Host Agent and Defense: Monitored part of laboratory portion of
course, 1996-2013.
Resource Person for Virology in Professional Curriculum: This involves availability for
student personal learning issues about Virology. This required a 1-2 hours review session
for the entire class (1999, 2000, 2001) and for various tutor groups (for example, 3 such
sessions in 2002, 2 in 2003, 2 in 2004-2007), and availability by email as long as the
course is in session to answer student questions.
Lecturing:
Annually 1994-1997. Foundation Course IV. Host Agent and Defense. 1-hour Lectures were
presented on each of 3 topics: Viral classification, Egress of pathogens from cells, and
Pathogen Self Protection.
1997 and 1999. 24 lectures. VMI 701. Viral Pathogenesis. 2 credits. I was the sole designer and
lecturer in this course. This course was given to 30-40 students which consisted of mostly
veterinary students with 8 graduate students and 2 undergraduates the first year, and a
similar mix with 1 undergraduate the second time it was offered. The course covered a
wide variety of viral diseases of humans and animals to illustrate pathogenetic
mechanisms in a number of organ systems.
Annually 1998-2004.. Foundation Course IV. Host Agent and Defense.1-hour lectures were
presented on each of 2 topics, Viral classification and Viral Replication.
Annually 1997-2005, 2007-2010. Foundation Course IV. Infectious Disease Rounds (Large
group discussion). Pseudodorabies virus. Infectious disease rounds involve a clinician
presenting a theoretical case followed by a scientist to provide underlying information
J. Baines CV Page 16
relevant to the case. This also serves to help wrap up information presented in the
previous week of the course
VMI 739. 1.5 credits. Viruses in Veterinary Medicine. Springs of 2001, 2003, 2005. This was
a traditional lecture-based course that covered the diseases of importance to veterinarians.
The classification, replication, pathogenesis, clinical aspects, control of various
pathogens are covered including agents of potential use as biological terror weapons. I
presented approximately 8 lectures in the course. This was co-taught with Dr. Colin
Parrish and Dr. Klaus Osterrieder. As of Fall of 2005, these lectures and others were
rolled into Foundation Course IV.
Guest Lectures. Guest lectures have been given in various courses including courses given to
undergraduates in basic Virology and viral pathogenesis (approximately 1 per year since
1997), and graduate students in viral replication (1999, 2009).
Annually 1997-2013. Foundation Course IV. Help run laboratory “Intracellular Pathogens”.
Two 3-hour sessions in one week.
Annually 2005-2013. Foundation Course IV lectures in Virology. Approximately 11 lectures on
various veterinary pathogens, viral structure, and viral replication.

Administrative positions:
Course Leader: Foundation Course IV. Host Agent and Defense.1999-2001. Per semester,
this requires approximately 220 hours of contact time with students, as the course leader
attends tutorials and all lectures, laboratories, and infectious disease rounds during the
course. It also involves chairing the curriculum design group (see aiove), coordinating
scheduling and evaluating faculty teaching efforts, and proctoring the 3 day examination
(8 hours on 2 days, and 4 hours on the final day).
Chair, Curriculum Committee, 2003-2006: The curriculum committee is responsible for
overseeing the entire veterinary curriculum. This involves evaluating the various facets of
the curriculum and proposing solutions to problems in some cases, and evaluating
proposed solutions in others. We have advocated problem based learning in some cases,
and discouraged it in others, depending on the discipline. During my tenure as chair, we
have tried to redefine a core curriculum, and have advocated using this definition to teach
a basic series of courses. These would then be followed by more specific courses for
different species and disciplines. This potentially alleviates the overemphasis of some
portions of clinical medicine at the expense of others, and helps tailor the curriculum to a
wide variety of individual student interests.
Chair, DVM/PhD Oversight committee. 2009-present: This committee oversees post DVM
research training, including a dual degree (DVM/PhD) program, graduate research
associate program (DVMs seeking PhD’s), and a Clinical Fellows Program (Residents
seeking advanced research training). It also involves evaluation and selection of
applicants for post-DVM training in these programs.

Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Education, September 2012-2014. This position
oversees graduate recruitment, graduate education and research conducted by College
faculty. It provides oversight of an Office of Sponsored Programs housed within the
Veterinary College. (The College received over 380 million dollars in research funds
over the last 10 years and our faculty wrote more than 400 papers per annum during that
time.) I was also a co-director of research conducted by the Cornell extension service
which is largely funded by Cornell University and USDA federal formula funds. I
promoted interactions between faculty with common research interests and facilitated
compliance with federal regulations required for safe and responsible conduct of
research. I also helped distribute more than 700,000 dollars per year to help foster clinical
research in food animals, horses and domestic and wild felids by running and overseeing
the competitive grants program that awards these funds. I also helped select veterinary
students and veterinarians for graduate study in the dual degree, and graduate research
fellow programs. In an attempt to reach out to the community and emphasize the One
Health concept, I have helped facilitate interaction between human cancer patients and
our cancer researchers through panel discussions. With considerable help from my staff,
I helped run the Merial Symposium for 400 Veterinary Scholars in 2014, with One
Health as the theme. I served as PI of a Broadening Experiences in Scientific Training
grant awarded by NIH to Cornell University in 2012. This grant encourages and exposes
graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to training in the broad areas of
Entrepreneurship and Business, Public Policy, Regulatory Medicine, and/or Scientific
Communication.
Dean, School of Veterinary Medicine, Louisiana State University, September 2014-Present. The Dean oversees directly or indirectly all aspects of the School of Veterinary Medicine.
Directly reporting to the Dean are the Associate Deans for research and advanced studies,
student and academic affairs, and diversity and faculty affairs, as well as three
departmental chairs representing Clinical Sciences, Comparative Biological Sciences, and
Pathobiology. I initiated the position of Associate Dean for Diversity of Faculty Affairs,
and this has had a remarkable impact on the appreciation of diversity in the School, and
recruitment of faculty and students with diverse backgrounds. The Budget for the School
is approximately 48 million dollars with approximately 110 faculty, 30 interns and
residents in 16 specialties, 50 graduate students, 25 postdoctoral fellows, and 100 staff.
The Dean, in conjunction with the Hospital Director, oversees the Veterinary Teaching
Hospital which has annual revenue of approximately 10 million dollars and sees around
23,000 cases a year, the Louisiana Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory that has
revenue of approximately $500,000, and a research enterprise that brings in
approximately 8 million dollars in funding from the National Institutes of Health and
other federal and state agencies. The Dean guides strategic planning for the school’s
missions in teaching, research and service. Immediate goals are to (i) increase research
collaborations of Veterinary faculty with those from other units within LSU and Tulane
University, including both LSU Medical Schools (ii) integrate clinical skills, and an
appreciation for research and discovery throughout the veterinary curriculum. (iii) Raise
10 million dollars for a new Small Animal Wellness Center, which will house Integrative
Medicine, Primary Care, Dentistry, Dermatology, Rehabilitative Medicine, and
Ophthalmology, and (iv) Generate a financially sustainable DVM/PhD program.
