Our team provides strong technician support, a collaborative environment, and the resources needed to allow our doctors to focus on providing high-quality medicine.

This is a PRN role (as needed, local multi-site) that you can have a lot of flexibility in picking shifts that works well with your schedule with our internal relief portal to choose shifts with ease, the consistency of the same local clinics and teams, AND receive the same benefits that our part-time employees receive such as 401k/retirement, Professional Liability Coverage, and access to our Employee Assistance Program.

What We're Looking For:

  • Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM/VMD) degree
  • Active and in-good-standing state veterinary license
  • Ability to provide confident, compassionate small animal care
  • Collaborative and team-oriented approach
  • Flexibility to provide coverage based on hospital needs and availability

Schedule: PRN / relief as-needed coverage with flexible scheduling based on mutual availability.

Signing bonus attached for this type of unique role!

What Your Day-to-Day Looks Like:

  • Build Lasting Relationships: Connect with clients and their pets, becoming their trusted partner in a pet's lifelong health.
  • Practice Your Best Medicine: From diagnosis to treatment, you'll lead patient care with the freedom to uphold the highest standards.
  • Educate and Empower: Clearly communicate findings and treatment plans, empowering clients to make informed decisions.
  • Collaborate and Grow: Work alongside a supportive paraprofessional team, contributing to a positive hospital culture.

Who We're Looking For:
