Job Description

Job Description

Looking for your next emergency medicine role?

If you want to keep challenging yourself clinically while having opportunities to collaborate with other veterinary professionals, this confidential opportunity may be worth exploring.

A full-time emergency veterinarian position is available in the broader South Carolina region. The role centers on caring for urgent and critical patients, making sound medical decisions under pressure, and helping pets and their families through unexpected situations.

What You'll Find Here

  • A strong starting salary: Full-time compensation starts at $180,000 annually, with the final offer based on experience and qualifications.

  • Production-based earning potential: The compensation model includes production opportunities without negative accrual.

  • A varied medical workload: Evaluate urgent cases, manage hospitalized patients, develop treatment plans, and perform procedures as needed.

  • Professional collaboration: Coordinate with veterinary colleagues and support staff to help guide patient care.

  • Continued clinical development: Build your emergency medicine experience while working with cases that may benefit from additional veterinary expertise.

What You'll Be Doing

Your focus will be emergency and urgent care, including patient assessment, diagnostics, treatment planning, hospitalization, surgery, and critical care. You'll need to be comfortable prioritizing cases, responding to changing patient conditions, and communicating clearly with pet owners during stressful situations.

The broader medical environment offers opportunities to coordinate care when cases require input beyond the emergency team.

Who Might Love This

This opportunity may appeal to an emergency veterinarian ready for a new professional setting, or a veterinarian with relevant internship training who wants to continue developing confidence in urgent and critical care. It may also suit someone who values clinical variety and collaboration when managing complex cases.

The Basics

  • Position: Full-time Emergency Veterinarian

  • Compensation: Starting at $180,000 annually; negotiable based on credentials and experience

  • Qualifications: DVM/VMD or equivalent, appropriate state licensure, and DEA licensure or eligibility

  • Experience: Emergency experience or relevant rotating or emergency internship training is recommended

  • Weekend and on-call expectations: Available during the confidential conversation

Benefits

Eligible team members may have access to:

  • Health, life, and disability insurance

  • Retirement plan with employer matching

  • Paid parental leave

  • Continuing education opportunities

  • Mental health and family support resources

  • Student loan assistance resources

  • Pet-related discounts

A Little About the Area

The surrounding region offers a blend of city conveniences and suburban living, with a range of communities to suit different lifestyles. South Carolina's generally warm climate and outdoor recreation options may appeal to veterinarians seeking opportunities to enjoy their time away from work.
