Emergency Veterinarian

Job Description

Our partners are excited to welcome an experienced Emergency Veterinarian to their thriving ER team, based in a beautifully renovated, state-of-the-art emergency and critical care hospital that has become a trusted cornerstone for the region. This is emergency medicine done right, with modern resources, real support, and a team that truly enjoys working together.

With AAHA accreditation and Fear Free Certification, the hospital is fully equipped for high-level emergency care, including advanced diagnostics, endoscopy, and surgical capability. Plus, you’ll have the added confidence of a 24/7 in-house Criticalist available for those more complex, challenging cases.

You’ll never be doing it alone; experienced ER doctors, dedicated credentialed technicians, and a collaborative culture make every shift smoother and more rewarding.

And the best part?

Swing shifts. The sweet spot between daytime routine and overnight burnout.

Work three 12-hour shifts per week, with structured time built in for breaks, recordkeeping, and breathing room.

If you’re looking for emergency medicine with balance, support, and progression, let’s set up an informal chat.
