Job Description

Associate Veterinarian | Augusta, GA | Interesting Cases + 4-Day Workweek + No On-Call

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Looking for a practice where you can see interesting medicine without giving up your life outside the hospital? This busy small animal practice offers a varied caseload, clinical autonomy, and a collaborative team that works together when cases get challenging or the day gets busy.

You'll typically work four 10-hour shifts with one weekday off, with flexibility available, and no on-call requirement . The hospital is currently closed on weekends, giving you predictable time away from work. Doctors also have dedicated surgery days and the opportunity to manage cases ranging from routine wellness to urgent care, dentistry, and complex surgery.

Whether you're a new graduate looking for strong mentorship or an experienced veterinarian ready for more autonomy, you'll have room to develop your skills and pursue areas of medicine that interest you.

What You'll Do
