Veterinary Surgeon

The Pet Emergency Clinic and Referral Center in Spokane, Washington is seeking a veterinary surgeon to join our busy and growing emergency and specialty hospital. We are the largest privately held, veterinarian-owned emergency and specialty practice in the Inland Northwest.

Our emergency medicine department is currently staffed by nine experienced emergency veterinarians including a board-certified criticalist and an abundance of fully trained support staff (licensed veterinary technicians, veterinary assistants, kennel attendants, and a full reception core). The emergency department is open 24/7/365. We work closely with and highly value our referring general practice veterinarians in the community.

Several specialty services are housed in the hospital and include internal medicine, oncology, emergency & critical care, and radiology (Inland Empire Veterinary Imaging, www.ievetimaging.com). There is a part-time dermatologist in our building (Dermatology for Animals, www.dermatologyforanimals.com), and an extension of Washington State University offers veterinary ophthalmologists and a veterinary dentist located just a few minutes from our clinic.

The hospital has an in-house diagnostic lab, digital radiography, and ultrasound. Access to specialist ultrasound, CT, and flexible/rigid endoscopy is available on weekdays. We also have an on-site blood bank.

The Pet Emergency Clinic and Referral Center is located within a recently constructed facility that won the 2017 VetEcon/360 Design Award for Specialty Hospital of the Year.

We are looking for an individual who seeks to provide exceptional quality medicine and elevate the medicine we provide as a hospital, and who can help to cultivate positive relationships with our referring veterinary community. We value work-life balance and a positive work environment.
