Associate Veterinarian

Company Description:

Rocky Mountain Veterinary Services (RMVS) is a mixed animal practice founded in 2003 by Dr. Darby Sullivan. For over 20 years, we’ve built a reputation for compassionate, high-quality veterinary care grounded in integrity and strong ethical standards. As an independently owned practice, we focus on patient care without corporate pressure or quotas, within a supportive, close-knit team environment.

Our work is split between in-clinic care and mobile ranch calls, offering true variety day to day. With fully equipped mobile units, a brand-new facility, and 24/7 emergency services, we’re able to provide a high level of care both in the clinic and out in the field.

Located in the heart of the Gunnison Valley, we offer an unbeatable lifestyle with easy access to mountains, rivers, skiing, hiking, and wide-open spaces.

Role Description:

Your time will be split between in-clinic small animal appointments and mobile large animal/ranch calls, offering the opportunity to build a well-rounded and diverse skillset. You’ll see a variety of cases ranging from routine preventative care to more complex medical and surgical cases, both in the clinic and out in the field.

Our schedule reflects the realities of mixed animal practice- some days are predictable, others require flexibility and problem-solving. We also provide 24/7 emergency services, with after-hours care shared among the team as part of an on-call rotation.

What We’re Looking For:

We’re seeking a full time (though part time will be considered for the right fit) veterinarian with both small and large animal (primarily equine and bovine) experience who’s comfortable working both independently and as part of a team. This role requires strong communication skills and the ability to adapt to the unpredictability of a mixed animal and emergency practice. A strong work ethic, positive attitude, and good sense of humor will make you a great fit with our team.
