Job Description
For veterinarians who love surgery, value mentorship, and want to practice high-quality medicine in a genuinely supportive environment, this is a standout opportunity.
The practice is in the final stages of completing a major renovation and expansion, transforming the hospital into a 16-exam-room, state-of-the-art facility designed to support advanced medicine, collaboration, and long-term growth.
The hospital operates as a full-service general practice with urgent and emergency capability, filling a vital community need where no dedicated ER exists nearby. You’ll be joining a 9-doctor team made up of a mix of experienced clinicians and newer graduates, supported by an excellent staff-to-doctor ratio and live scribes, allowing you to focus on medicine, not paperwork.
This hospital truly invests in its people. New graduates benefit from a structured six-month mentorship program tailored to their confidence and skill levels. Several former associates have pursued residencies and academic careers, underscoring the strength of the teaching environment.
With two surgical suites having the capacity to perform 4 surgeries simultaneously, a dedicated dental suite, multiple ICU areas, and advanced diagnostics (including ultrasound, digital radiography, laser therapy, and a full in-house IDEXX lab), this is an excellent setting for veterinarians who enjoy a diverse caseload and want room to grow clinically, particularly in surgery and urgent care.
They’re offering a flexible work-life balance and schedule to suit your preferences. If you’re a newly graduated DVM in a 6-month mentorship program, you’re expected to work 5 8-hour shifts per week, with a view to reducing to 4 days after this. The clinic ensures consecutive days off due to their current staffing preferences for flexible shift patterns.
