The Job Opportunity:
An established, AAHA-accredited small animal practice is seeking a Part-Time Associate Veterinarian to join its collaborative and experienced veterinary team.
This opportunity offers the flexibility of a part-time schedule while still providing access to advanced veterinary medicine, modern diagnostic technology, and a strong clinical support team. It is particularly well suited for a veterinarian who wants to remain actively involved in high-quality medicine while maintaining additional flexibility outside of work.
The practice is committed to evidence-based medicine, clinical autonomy, collaboration, and professional development. Doctors have the opportunity to manage a varied general practice caseload while also gaining exposure to advanced surgery, orthopedics, dentistry, diagnostic imaging, and complementary medicine.
Veterinarians are supported by an experienced team with an approximately 2–2.5:1 support staff-to-doctor ratio. Intentional staffing allows doctors to spend more of their time practicing medicine, communicating with clients, and providing individualized patient care.
Flexible part-time scheduling is available, and the practice is closed on Sundays. Part-time veterinarians are valued members of the medical team and are encouraged to participate in continued learning, mentorship, and collaborative case management.
