Job Description

Associate Veterinarian – General Practice

Jackson Metro, Mississippi
$105,000–$170,000 | Full-Time

Looking for a general practice where you can build strong client relationships, practice quality medicine, and still have room for life outside the hospital?

DVM Focus is recruiting an Associate Veterinarian for an established small animal practice in the Jackson metro area. This opportunity offers a broad general practice caseload, experienced team support, flexible scheduling, mentorship, and room to continue developing your clinical interests.

Experienced veterinarians and newer DVMs are both encouraged to explore the opportunity.

Your caseload may include:

• Wellness and preventive medicine
• General medical care
• Diagnostic workups and case management
• Routine surgery
• Dentistry
• Same-day sick visits
• Client education and communication
• Collaboration with veterinarians and support staff

You’ll have the opportunity to practice comprehensive small animal medicine while continuing to develop your skills in the areas that interest you most.

• DVM, VMD, or equivalent veterinary degree
• Active Mississippi veterinary license or ability to obtain one
• Strong communication and client-service skills
• Collaborative, team-oriented approach to patient care
• Commitment to compassionate, high-quality medicine
• Interest in continued clinical and professional development

New graduates are welcome, and mentorship is available.

DEA licensure and USDA accreditation are preferred but are not required at the time of application.

Market-based compensation range: $105,000–$170,000 , depending on experience, qualifications, schedule, clinical skill set, and compensation structure.

The overall opportunity may also include:

• Production-based earning opportunity
• Flexible scheduling
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Paid time off and paid holidays
• Continuing education allowance
• Paid CE time
• Professional dues and licensing reimbursement
• Retirement plan with employer contribution
• Mentorship and professional development

This role offers a solid mix of general practice medicine, schedule flexibility, and team support.

For a newer DVM, there is mentorship and room to keep building confidence across medicine, surgery, and dentistry. For an experienced veterinarian, there is the ability to bring established skills while maintaining autonomy and work-life balance.

DVM Focus will walk you through the practice, schedule, compensation structure, team, and expectations before an introduction is made so you can decide whether the opportunity actually aligns with what you want.
