Avian and Exotics Specialist

Board-Certified Avian and Exotics Veterinarian

Route 66 Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care Center is looking for a board-certified Avian and Exotics Veterinarian to help them expand the care of their already established niche community of patients. Be one of the first boarded Avian and Exotics Veterinarians in the State of New Mexico to bring this much needed service to Albuquerque!

Our amazing team of caregivers are a positive group of people who create an atmosphere of calm even while dealing with the stress of veterinary medicine. Route 66 Vet was created to provide a different experience for clients and employees alike. We aim to give back to our community by providing people with a caring compassionate atmosphere to bring their pets in a time of need. Our practice is growing as the city of Albuquerque has embraced our hospital and has chosen it as the place for veterinary emergencies. We are already seeing avian and exotic patients regularly and want to elevate the level of care they receive by adding a board-certified specialist to the team.

The Route 66 Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care Center is in the trendy Nob Hill neighborhood close to both the University of New Mexico and Sandia National Laboratory. Albuquerque is a growing city that has an abundance of sunshine. Nestled at the base of the Rocky Mountains we enjoy all 4 seasons with none of the sticky triple-digit heated summer days. Albuquerque winters are mild, but sometimes we see a little snow. Mountain biking, hiking, and world-class skiing will be in your backyard. Our cost of living can't be beaten! Our housing market allows for very comfortable living on any budget.

Our state-of-the-art, AAHA accredited facility features digital radiology, endoscopy, advanced patient monitoring, telemetry, ultrasound, ligasure, fully equipped laboratory and entirely electronic medical records. Our new facility completed in November 2021 will allow us to care for more patients while allowing our veterinarians to have the space to comfortably practice. As this is a new service for Route 66, you'll also be able to partner with hospital leadership to build your own service and team.

Our technical staff are composed of mainly registered veterinary technicians and assistants with years of emergency experience. Keeping a staffed hospital where our clients are cared for and our veterinarians are supported is extremely important to us. Our vets enjoy a three tech to one doctor ratio. We have a full-time Veterinary Social Worker on staff to help support our staff emotionally as well as our clients.

We are looking for an enthusiastic, personable specialist who can handle the medical aspects of the job while delivering compassion and care to our patients and clients. Coaching and educating are important to us as we strive to create a collaborative environment where you can discuss and research cases among your colleagues.

Joining Route 66 means joining a hospital that believes in cooperative veterinary care within the hospital AND the community. We are a hospital that believes in not only being patient focused, but employee and community wellness which is why we offer NO non-competes and a NO negative accrual.

Our business loves to give back! We ensure that our employees are cared for as well as our clients. We provide:

• Competitive salary
• Generous signing bonus
• 3 shift work weeks
• Consistent predictable schedule
• Harmonious work/home life balance
• Generous CE allowance
