Associate Veterinarian - General Practice - Part Time

We are working on behalf of a brand new, AAHA accredited small animal hospital in Alexandria, VA that is ready to welcome its second doctor.
The hospital opened its doors around eight months ago and has grown quickly, so this is a genuine ground floor opportunity to help shape a young practice rather than inherit someone elses. The facility itself is purpose built to a high standard, with a separate operating room, a dedicated dental suite, and modern diagnostic and monitoring equipment throughout.

The founding Medical Lead is already in place and is looking for a colleague, not a pair of hands, so you would be working in close partnership with an experienced doctor while still having real ownership of your own cases.

Caseload is 100 percent general practice, with no urgent care or emergency rotation.

Days vary the way they do in any young hospital, with some genuinely busy and some quieter, and there is at least one day a week of solo doctor coverage. Newer graduates will be considered, provided you are comfortable holding your own on a solo day and are motivated by building something. If you have been looking for the autonomy of a startup with the equipment and support of an established group, this is worth a conversation.
