The Job Opportunity:
A newly established small animal practice is seeking a Full-Time Associate Veterinarian to join its growing veterinary team.

This opportunity is ideal for a veterinarian who values evidence-based medicine, clinical autonomy, mentorship, and continued professional development. The practice has been thoughtfully designed to give doctors the resources and support needed to provide high-quality medical, surgical, and dental care while maintaining the freedom to make individualized clinical decisions for their patients.

The incoming veterinarian will work in a new, modern veterinary facility equipped with advanced medical technology and a dedicated surgical suite. The hospital emphasizes open communication and collaboration while respecting each veterinarian’s individual approach to medicine.

Professional development is an important part of the practice culture. Mentorship can be customized around the veterinarian’s experience, confidence level, and professional interests, allowing both newer and experienced doctors to continue developing their skills at an appropriate pace.

Compensation & Benefits May Include:

• Competitive compensation based on experience, professional skills, and clinical contributions.
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Continuing education allowance
• Paid continuing education programs
• In-house clinical training
• Online educational resources
• Access to a veterinarian peer and professional network
• Customized mentorship and career development

The position offers a four-day workweek with rotating Saturdays, providing a consistent schedule while allowing meaningful time away from the hospital.

For veterinarians interested in a longer-term role in practice leadership, the hospital may also provide opportunities to work toward partnership or co-ownership.
