Do you dream of practice ownership? Would you like to practice excellent medicine and work towards practice ownership at the same time?

We are seeking a compassionate full-time (3-5 shifts per week) Associate Veterinarian who is interested in true veterinary medicine and practice ownership to join our team at this independent, privately-owned, established and growing small animal exclusive practice in the beautiful countryside of New Prague, Minnesota (SW Metro Minnesota, 45 minutes from the Twin Cities).
